FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. _ Police are investigating a "suspicious package" discovered Wednesday at the Sunrise, Fla., office of U.S. congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
"It was a package found at the building," said Sunrise Police Officer Chris Piper. "It wasn't necessarily addressed to Debbie Wasserman Schultz."
Piper said a bomb squad from the Broward Sheriff's Office was expected at the office, at 777 Sawgrass Corporate Parkway in Sunrise, to secure the building.
Piper had to hang up before he could provide additional information about the situation unfolding at 11:15 a.m., on a morning when suspicious packages were also being investigated at the New York City offices of CNN and the upstate New York homes of former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton and investor George Soros, as well as the Washington, D.C., home of former President Barack Obama.
Representatives of Wasserman Schultz, an incumbent Democrat who is seeking re-election, were not available to comment.
