We now have more updates to report.
According to Daily Mail:
The bomb squad was called out to reports of multiple suspicious packages at Trump Tower in New York City on Friday.
The NYPD has now since said sniffer dogs failed to detect any explosives and the situation has been resolved.
The cops were called at around 4.30pm on Friday after several bags containing cell phones and an unknown device were found on the building’s second floor, the New York Post reported.
So it wasn’t a bomb…
But bags full of cell phones and batteries still seem awfully fishy.
Meanwhile, NBC New York reports that four portable batteries were found in the lobby of Trump Tower. A custodian who discovered the devices called 911.
It’s not yet clear why the devices were in the building; whether they were left behind by accident or dumped by people with ulterior motives.
In this day an age, it’s not safe to assume ANYTHING was a simple accident.
Traffic along Fifth Avenue was partially shut down as authorities investigated.
The 58-story, 664-foot-high skyscraper on Fifth Avenue, was Donald Trump’s main residence before moving to the White House after the election.
Trump Tower also contains offices of the Trump family business. The headquarters of the Trump Organization is on the 26th floor. Trump’s family has spent little time in New York since he took office.
Melania and Baron, however, lived there for a few months after Trump took office.
Today, the president and first lady Melania are currently at Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump has not yet commented on the bomb scare.
We’ll let you know if we hear more.
