Bomb threats at the Senate and the WH West Wing. Buildings cleared.....Press cameras taken down and Press evacuated. This afternoon around 2:30pm. BO and Family in residence. Strange Package found at the Dirksen Bldg too. What say ye?
The White House Briefing Room in the West Wing was evacuated today after a bomb threat, officials said. The incident, in the middle of a briefing, happened shortly after a Senate office building on Capitol Hill had its own bomb threat scare. The briefing room was evacuated as a precaution, and was the only part of the White House evacuated, according to White House Spokesman Josh Earnest.
Reporters and producers were quickly herded out of the complex into an auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building across the street.
A Secret Service officer in front of the White House told ABC News that agents believe the person who phoned in the threat was the same one who phoned in the threat at Dirksen Senate Office Building earlier today. The U.S. Secret Service headquarters has not confirmed that the two calls were related.....snip~
