(24 Oct 2018) Authorities responded to a suspicious package sent to the office of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida by sending in a robot to inspect the scene. The package is believed to be part of crude pipe bombs targeting Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, CNN and others in a rash of attacks aimed at prominent Democrats and a cable news network often criticized by political conservatives. Wasserman Schultz is the former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. Police are also investigating the suspicious package near Wasserman Schultz's office on the Sawgrass Corporate Parkway in Sunrise, which is near Fort Lauderdale. The congresswoman was in Coral Gables, along with Hillary Clinton, at a campaign event for Donna Shalala on Wednesday morning. Miami FBI spokesman Mike Leverock says the agency is aware that a suspicious package was mailed to Wasserman Schultz' office in Sunrise and agents are on the scene.
