An investigation is underway after a series of suspicious packages are found.
One was found at Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Chappaqua home this morning. Packages sent to former Presidents are routinely screened.
An explosive device was found on Wednesday morning by a technician who screens mail for Bill and Hillary Clinton, who live in a suburb of New York City, a law enforcement official said.

Monday a similar device was found at George Soros’ home.
A pipe bomb loaded with explosive black powder was hand-delivered to the suburban New York City home of billionaire financier George Soros by a would-be attacker, prompting the FBI to launch an investigation into who would want to harm the philanthropist and political activist, a law enforcement source told ABC News on Tuesday.
The FBI photographed the device and then detonated it near Soros’ home in Katonah, New York, and were analyzing fragments to determine why the bomb did not go off, the source said.
During a news cycle in which conservatives have been arguing the Democrats are a "mob," we've seen ultra-rightwing street thugs beat people on the streets of NY and bombs being sent to George Soros and the Clintons.
