The Time Warner Center was evacuated on Wednesday morning after a suspicious package was found in the building’s mailroom. Police have told people to stay away from the area around Columbus Circle, which is at 59th Street at the Southwest corner of Central Park.

Similar packages were sent to President Obama, George Soros and Hillary Clinton.

A law enforcement official told NBC News that all four packages sent to the Time Warner Center, Obama, Clinton and Soros are “nearly identical.” CNN reported that metal material and wires were discovered by an X-ray of the package sent to the Time Warner Center.

CNN, which was in the building, reported the news as it occurred.

Forget Trump TOWER, it’s now Trump TERROR. Maybe the building should be rebranded as such.

Here’s how many times Trump attacked CNN:

“Trump has attacked CNN 63 times on Twitter alone during his administration… His rallies routinely feature attacks on [CNN]…the President has described the press as “the enemy of the people” in speeches and tweets some 55 times since taking office.” – CNN
