CNN: Package Addressed to White House Containing Ricin Intercepted

RUSH EXCERPT:

PEREZ: “Hi, Fred. This was intercepted in the last few days and there was a mail facility that handles all mail that is addressed to the president, to the White House, and that’s where this package was intercepted. The procedure is to essentially test this package at least twice to make sure that it is confirmed. There’s a lot of false positives in things that get sent there. This package was addressed to the president and has been tested enough times to confirm that it is this poison, ricin. And so now the investigation is being led by the FBI, by the Secret Service. Obviously this is a dangerous situation. It’s a poison and it is something that they take very, very seriously.”
