A letter addressed to President Barack Obama "containing a suspicious substance was received at the remote White House mail screening facility" on Tuesday, the Secret Service announced Wednesday.
The Secret Service said that the letter was received at a facility that routinely identifies letters or parcels that require secondary screening or scientific testing before delivery.
"The Secret Service White House mail screening facility is a remote facility, not located near the White House complex, that all White House mail goes through," Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said. "The Secret Service is working closely with the U.S. Capitol Police and the FBI in this investigation."
