Law enforcement earlier this week intercepted a package addressed to President Trump containing the poison ricin, according to two officials.

Two tests were conducted to confirm the substance in the package was ricin, CNN reported.

Mail for the White House is screened and sorted at a facility away from the building before it arrives to the president.


The FBI and Secret Service are investigating the matter.

The Hill contacted the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI but did not immediately receive a response.
