First NYC Mayor Bloomberg and his anti-gun group, and now President Obama is the latest to receive a threatening letter than officials say could contain a poison.
The United States Secret Service confirmed Thursday a threatening letter, possibly containing the deadly poison ricin, was mailed to President Obama. The Secret Service said it was found at an off-site facility and never reached the White House. But, officials warned it appears to be similar in nature to the letters recently mailed to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
