The US Secret Service said it had obtained a "suspicious envelope" addressed to Trump on Monday, the same day at least two suspicious packages were intercepted at a screening center for Pentagon mail, according
to a Defense Department spokesman. "The envelope was not received at the White House, nor did it ever enter the White House," the Secret Service said. "We can confirm that we are working jointly with our law enforcement partners to fully investigate this matter." Chris Sherwood, a Pentagon spokesman, said authorities at its screening site "recognized some suspicious packages,"noting they were "suspected to be ricin." He stressed that authorities were still waiting for confirmation that the packages contained ricin.
