CNN)A package containing the poison ricin and addressed to President Donald Trump was intercepted by law enforcement earlier this week, according to two law enforcement officials.
Two tests were done to confirm the presence of ricin. All mail for the White House is sorted and screened at an offsite facility before reaching the White House.
A US law enforcement official told CNN that investigators are looking into the possibility the ricin package sent to Trump came from Canada.

Mary-Liz Power, chief spokeswoman for Canada's Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair, said in a statement, "We are aware of the concerning reports of packages containing ricin directed toward US federal government sites. Canadian law enforcement is working closely with their US counterparts. As this is an active investigation we cannot comment further."
The FBI and Secret Service are investigating the matter.
Ricin is a highly toxic compound extracted from castor beans that has been used in terror plots. It can be used in powder, pellet, mist or acid form. If ingested, it causes nausea, vomiting and internal bleeding of the stomach and intestines, followed by failure of the liver, spleen and kidneys, and death by collapse of the circulatory system.

Obama's first death threat was in 2007 and they never stopped - future Trump supporters doing their best to make America great again ...

Yes. It was almost an instantaneous mental reflex to think it may have come from Victoria Park, Perth.

I've noticed that the Media and Democrats can't attack Trump's Presidency of World Peace, while they trash the nation and blame Trump for it. So they attack his personal life and his relationship. Trying to entice discord. This is Big Brother Media of Oceania at its nastiest.

They attack his apathy, inaction, dishonesty, incompetence, corruption, and total unsuitability to the job.

200,000 Americans dead, including his own brother, and still counting.

Trump is responsible for more deaths than the Vietnam War and WWII.

A total failure in business, and a total failure in politics.

A total failure in life, basically.
