WASHINGTON — The U.S. Secret Service says it has intercepted a letter addressed to President Barack Obama that contained a "suspicious substance."
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan says the letter was intercepted at a facility away from the White House. He says the letter was received Tuesday.
The letter comes a day after lawmakers said a letter was mailed to Sen. Roger Wicker that tested positive for poisonous ricin.
Tensions have been high in Washington and across the country since the deadly bombings on Monday at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured more than 170.
Police have a suspect in mind as they investigate a letter mailed to Roger Wicker that tested positive for poisonous ricin, a Senate colleague said.
"The person that is a suspect writes a lot of letters to members," Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said Tuesday as she emerged from a classified briefing.

It really is “all about me, Obama” isn’t it?
OK, which one of you has been writing “a lot of letters” to washington?
0 ain’t about to let the Bostonians get all the attention...
Right, someone is dumb enough to think anything sent to any President is going to go to them without multiple layers of security first. Odumbo probably mailed to himself looking to cash in on sympathy and make it about him.
...Once again trying to lay the groundwork for a narrative that a concerned American... a CONSERVATIVE ... had to be the sender.
.
So NOW it matters, since it is to Obama. According to NBC, when it was just to some Republican Senator from Mississippi, it was probably only paper by-product.
Probably has a mixture of Bill Ayers and George Soros bodily fluids on it.
#BREAKING: Police investigating suspicious package near the White House. Roads closed at 15th and K, 1 entrance closed at McPherson Square.
Even in jest, I submit that’s a poor narrative to echo.
Anyone passing through not knowing you, could easily see your comment as one Conservative admitting what his pals are up to. As if...
Was it the Constitution?

Was it suspicious because it only contained $3,000 instead of the required amount of $5,000 for a meeting with Obama?
Yep, that is exactly my thought. It will be pinned on some “gun nuts” that this Administration can demonize.
Remember Stephen Hatfill?
yes, he was jealous of the Senator who got all the attention.
Whadda you mean he hasn’t eaten in two days....Did his food tester die?
No problem...The White House is closed to WE THE PEOPLE.
It’s from his BFF Chris Christie.
That mysterious substance is probably what can be cleaned up from the floor of a gay bathhouse.
