The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a letter containing a "suspicious substance" that was addressed to President Obama, the agency confirmed on Wednesday, and at least three U.S. senators also reported receiving suspicious mail.
FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said the letter to Obama tested positive for the substance ricin.
The letter was sent to Obama on Tuesday, and was intercepted at the White House mail screening facility, according to Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary.
The White House mail screening facility is a remote facility, not located near the White House complex, Leary said.
