Clinton NYC HQ cleared after powder found in envelope
Hillary Clinton's campaign office in New York City was cleared after the discovery of a white substance lead to an evacuation Friday.
Federal and local officials determined the white powder sent though the mail was non-hazardous, campaign spokesman Glen Caplin told The Associated Press on Saturday. Four people were examined by medical personnel with no illnesses or injuries being reported.
The substance was discovered in an envelope Friday addressed to the Clinton campaign, New York Police Lt. Thomas Antonetti said. It was first opened around 5:30 p.m. in Clinton's Manhattan office before being brought to the 11th floor of the Brooklyn office at Pierrepont Plaza.
