Thwarting an attempt to poison Trump

CNN reported, Saturday, that the White House law enforcement authorities intercepted earlier this week a package containing the toxin ricin intended for President Donald Trump.

The American Network quoted law enforcement officials as saying that the FBI and the Secret Service are investigating this toxic package, which was directed at Trump and contains the toxin ricin.

Two tests were conducted to confirm the presence of ricin, after all mail messages of the White House were sorted and examined at an off-site facility before reaching the White House, and then the presence of the toxic substance was confirmed.

Ricin is a highly toxic compound extracted from castor beans, which have been used before in a number of terrorist operations.
