so it's james clapper. this package i'm told was addressed to james clapper. we don't know -- i know james clapper. he doesn't live in new york, so it will be interesting to see where it was going. was it addressed to cnn? i say this because the sorting facility is six blocks south where from our offices are. >> that's according to a friend who doesn't work here because it did come to cnn because the culprit thought he would be able to be reached down here. your sources are telling you this is the same. >> yes. and the fact it is addressed to james clapper, you can see why the postal inspector notified the fbi once they got a hold of it. there is going to be a pretty large response now over at this sorting facility. >> the scope of this all just expanded before our very eyes. an 11th device, presumably a bomb addressed to corey booker recovered in florida. here in new york city, you are looking at live pictures right now at a postal facility six blocks from here. another suspicious package addressed to james clapper. and new reporting. >> it was coming to cnn.

he's been critical of james clapper in the past. grouping him together with john brennan, the former cia director and the former president, barack obama, as well. but just the latest from here at the white house is so far we're hearing nothing from them. we do know the president in his comments in the east room earlier this week spoke out against violence and violent rhetoric. but then some of his public comments since, people have suggested, seem to undercut the original message, steph. >> his public comments since and before, let's remind our audience. let's always remind our audience, while the president talks about the negative media bias, it's called fact checking. every day the president of the united states lies. and every day, the media fact checks him. so calling him a liar surely makes him feel terrible and angry and he would like that to stop. he should stop lying. >> if the president is up set and his feelings are hurt, what he should do is start acting presidential. he should make a statement today not only condemning t

did james clapper's go to an office address or to another media outlet looking for him? >> i don't know what the address says on the package. so i don't know at what address it was intended to be delivered, but that's a good question and one that we'll pursue. >> the other thing is, i'm sure they're just trying to reverse engineer all of this, but one wonders if these were a bunch of packages, i guess we're up to 11 or 12 now all sent at the same time, and are just being discovered piecemeal or whether there's the possibility still out there that there was an initial batch sent and that this sender is still sending them. >> right, so the complicating thing is, because we know the first of them arrived on monday. that was the one to george so s soros'house. many of the packages were sent back to the return address and going back and forth in the system. they went toward their destination and then they were starting to be sent back again, so it's a little difficult to tell at this point, for example, the cory booker package we were unable to determine this morning whether
