WASHINGTON (AP) Suspicious packages addressed to actor Robert De Niro and former Vice President Joe Biden were intercepted Thursday, and investigators said they were similar to crude pipe bombs sent to former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and CNN.
None of the devices exploded and no one was injured, but the packages, sent to prominent Democrats critical of President Donald Trump, underscored the heightened political tensions and fears two weeks before national midterm elections.
Police said the package recovered in Manhattan addressed to De Niro, who dropped an expletive insult at Trump at this years Tony Awards, was similar to the other pipe bombs recovered this week. De Niro had also apologized to Canadians for the idiotic behavior of my president.
