| A suspicious package has triggered evacuation at a mail facility in south Los Angeles, according to media citing local police. The package was reportedly addressed to Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters. | |
| A bomb squad has been dispatched to the scene. Los Angeles Police Department and agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating the package. | |
| According to AP citing an unnamed source, the package was addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters and was similar to bombs discovered near the homes and offices of prominent Democratic figures over the past 48 hours. Earlier, another one addressed to Waters had been intercepted in Maryland. | |
| The bomb was discovered as Trump has been calling for the bomber to be brought to justice, assuring “the full weight of our government” is behind the investigation. “Acts or threats of political violence have no place of any kind in the United States of America,” he announced after meeting with the FBI, Justice Department, and DHS. | |
| The earlier confirmed bombs, including one sent to George Soros on Monday night, were constructed with PVC pipe, which x-rays showed contained shrapnel, an explosive, and timers. Senior bomb technicians confirmed all the components required to detonate the devices were present. However, none of the bombs actually exploded. | |
