Authorities are trying to track down a package addressed to former Vice President Joe Biden because it bears similarities to explosive devices addressed to other prominent Democratic officials on Wednesday, CNN reported.
The network cited two law enforcement officials who said they’re unsure if the package directed to Biden is connected to those sent earlier to former President Barack Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton, among other prominent Democratic figures. A similar package arrived Wednesday morning at CNN's New York City offices addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan.
The package was originally sent to Biden’s old address in Delaware, and was returned to the sender. Officials are looking into it because of “possible similarities” to the explosive devices that law enforcement officials intercepted earlier Wednesday, CNN reported.
Biden’s office did have a comment on the report as of Wednesday night.
The Secret Service referred The Hill's inquiries to the FBI.
The bureau referred The Hill to its previous statements on the suspicious packages, which do not mention parcels addressed to the former vice president.
The Delaware News Journal reported earlier Wednesday that law enforcement officials swept Biden's home in Greenville, Del., as a precaution in lieu of the explosive devices addressed to other prominent Democrats.
Local police said they did not find a similar parcel, the news outlet reported.
Authorities have also intercepted packages addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and former Attorney General Eric Holder. The packages reportedly had Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's (D) contact information listed for the return address. Wasserman Schultz said she is "deeply disturbed" that her name was attached.
A similar device was discovered late Monday at the home of billionaire philanthropist and Democratic megadonor George Soros.
None of the devices detonated before they were intercepted by law enforcement.
In response to the threats, Biden called for an end to "division," "hatred" and "ugliness." His comments came prior to a potentially suspicious package being directed toward him.
President Trump has condemned the threats, and urged national unity. The president addressed the suspicious packages at the outset of his rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday night, vowing the perpetrator would be held accountable, while seemingly passing blame onto the media and his critics for the current state of political discourse.
Democrats and Republicans have widely condemned the threats, but have pointed fingers at the other party for hostile rhetoric and behavior.
Now you know it’s a hoax, nobody would bother blowing up the Idiot Biden.
False flag?
Couldn't have swept it very well because apparently they didn't find his kiddie porn...
None of the devices detonated ( because they were not capable of detonating) before they were intercepted by law enforcement.
Wow, the fake liberal democrat false flag bomber was busy.
Not only does this cement that it is in fact a hoax, it strongly suggests someone is talking.
Otherwise... why the certainty that Biden was to get one?
He's been waiting two days for his.

“Potentially suspicious.....?”
So is this fake bombmathon taking the caravan off the news?
Looks like Biden will have to take Trump behind the gym.
My money is on Trump.
I heard that Lizzie Warren got an arrow with a Bic Lighter taped to it in the mail.
This is their half-assed “October Surprise”.
The left is insane.
Probably sent it to himself just so nobody would think he wasn’t worth blowing up.
Uh oh. Jealous Dems are gonna wonder where their bomb is...
“Hey! I’m in the Cool Kids Club, too! I Hoped for Change! I was With Her! Where’s _my_ bomb?!?”
Let Joe know you’re coming or he’s likely to step out on the porch and blast you with the ol’ shotgun.
the leftist idiots doing this forgot Elizabeth Warren.
LOL! Good one!
YEP, the caravan is BLOWING UP in their faces SO the fake bombathon has taken over the news!!! We have some crackerjack reporters on social media that will get to the bottom of this fake BS fast!!!! This WILL also blow up in their faces AND hopefully they will lose elections for decades to come!!!!!!
