WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on possible explosive devices sent to former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton (all times local):

6:40 p.m.

New York City Police Commissioner James O'Neill says investigators are reviewing security video to see if they can identify a courier believed to have delivered a package containing a pipe bomb to CNN's Manhattan office.

O'Neill said in an appearance on CNN Wednesday that he was "pretty sure those images will be caught on video and we'll be able to find out where that person came from before they entered the building and where they went to after."

The FBI says five packages containing explosives targeting Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, CNN and others are being analyzed at the bureau's lab in Virginia.

The packages had stamps, but investigators were piecing together how they were delivered.

The first package was found Monday at the New York compound of liberal billionaire George Soros.

5:40 p.m.

The U.S. Capitol Police are confirming they are investigating a suspicious package found at a facility that screens congressional mail before it arrives on Capitol Hill.

The statement comes after Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters said earlier Wednesday that her Washington office was the target of a suspicious package. It was not immediately clear if that package was related to explosive devices sent to former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and others.

Capitol Police spokeswoman Eva Malecki did not describe the device. She said it was removed from the offsite facility and it is now being investigated by Capitol Police and the FBI.

Malecki said the Capitol Police are also working with local law enforcement agencies in Florida. All of the packages had a return address of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat.

The FBI says five packages containing explosives targeting Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, CNN and others are being analyzed at the bureau's lab in Virginia.

The agency says each package had a return address of "DEBBIE WASSERMAN SHULTZ," a misspelling of the Florida congresswoman's name.

The FBI confirmed all of the packages had printed address labels and six stamps.

The first of the packages was found Monday at the suburban New York compound of liberal billionaire George Soros.

The package delivered to CNN on Wednesday was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan.

Another package was addressed to former Attorney General Eric Holder. The FBI says that package did not reach its intended destination and was rerouted to the return address on the envelope in Florida.

Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz says two of her district offices, in Sunrise, Florida, and Aventura, Florida, were evacuated Wednesday after reports of a suspicious package at the Sunrise office.

Crude pipe bombs targeting Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, CNN and others were intercepted Tuesday night and Wednesday in a rash of attacks. The packages had the return address of Wasserman Schultz, an apparent reference to her role as former chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Wasserman Schultz says she will "not be intimidated by this attempted act of violence," adding, "This appalling attack on our democracy must be vigorously prosecuted."

Wasserman Schultz says she is "deeply disturbed by the way my name was used" in the attack, but will continue her work in Congress.

Democratic leaders in Congress say President Donald Trump's words condemning violence "ring hollow" until he stops talking and acting in ways that divide Americans.

Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi say in a joint statement that Trump has "condoned physical violence and divided Americans with his words and actions."

The Democrats list Trump's backing of a GOP congressman who "body-slammed" a reporter, his relationships with dictators and his handling of a neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville as examples of statements he should take back.

Trump called for national unity Wednesday after crude pipe bombs targeting Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, CNN and others were intercepted. The president said "acts or threats of political violence have no place in the United States." He said a federal investigation is under way.

4:15 p.m.

CNN chief Jeff Zucker is criticizing the White House for what he calls "a total and complete lack of understanding" about the seriousness of attacks on the media.

Zucker tweets that President Donald Trump and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders have shown "no comprehension" that their words matter.

Some at CNN are angry that Sanders' first statement on the explosive devices did not mention CNN as one of the targets, although a later tweet by her did so.

CNN is also upset that a fundraising letter that attacked CNN was sent out Wednesday by the Trump campaign, after CNN's New York headquarters was evacuated. Trump's campaign chairman later apologized for the message, which he said was pre-programmed and automated.

Trump's campaign rallies frequently include chants of "CNN sucks."

A device intended for former Attorney General Eric Holder is among those intercepted in recent days.

That's according to two people who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press to discuss an ongoing investigation.

One of the people says the device was sent to the wrong address. It was then sent back to what was listed as the return address, an office of Florida Rep. Deborah Wasserman Schultz.

The person said the device was believed to be similar to those sent to other officials, including former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Rep. Maxine Waters says her Washington office was the target of a suspicious package.

The California Democrat says in a statement that U.S. Capitol Police informed her about the package and that it had been referred to the FBI.

It wasn't immediately clear if the suspicious package is related to the explosive devices sent to former President Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton and CNN.

The outspoken congresswoman is frequently criticized by President Donald Trump. He has called her "an extremely low IQ person" and has pegged her level of intellect as "somewhere in the mid-60s," which is considered the range for a mental disability.

Waters says she appreciates law enforcement officials' work on the investigation and that she "unequivocally" condemns any act of terror or violence.

3:45 p.m.

President Donald Trump's campaign is apologizing for an email message criticizing CNN that was sent to supporters less than two hours after that network's New York headquarters was evacuated because it had been sent a crude explosive device.

Campaign chairman Brad Parscale said via Twitter that it was a pre-programmed, automated message that was not caught before news of the explosive device came out. Parscale said the campaign does not condone violence against anyone who works for CNN, or anyone else.

The message asks recipients to take a "media accountability survey" to fight back against the "fake news' attacks and bias against hardworking Americans."

The fundraising message says it has some breaking news for CNN: that the real America exists outside of the liberal bubble.

The president's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, was listed as the person sending the email.

Police in South Florida say they are investigating a package delivered to the second of two offices for U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

This comes after explosive devices were sent to Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, CNN and others.

Police in Aventura, Florida, said on their official Twitter feed that "In an abundance of caution, we are having a package that was addressed to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz checked" by the Miami police and fire department.

Earlier Wednesday, police evacuated Wasserman's office building in Sunrise, Florida, and were investigating what the FBI said was a suspicious package there.

Wasserman Schultz could not immediately be reached for comment.

President Donald Trump says "acts or threats of political violence have no place in the United States." He's addressing the suspicious packages sent to former President Barack Obama, the Clintons, CNN and others.

Trump says he received a briefing from federal officials earlier Wednesday on what he called the "despicable acts." He says that "a major federal investigation" is now underway.

And he's calling on the nation to come together, saying: in these times "we have to unify."

But he says, "We're extremely angry, upset, unhappy about what we witnessed this morning and we will get to the bottom of it."

Trump's comments came at the top of remarks discussing his administration's efforts to combat the opioid crisis.

New York City police say a suspicious package found at the New York City office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo did not contain a bomb.
