Transcription for About suspect of containing ricin directed to Trump: Authorities
First, the suspicious and alarming letters tonight. The secret service that just reported that they intercepted a suspicious envelope sent to President Trump, saying that the mail never reached the white house. And we also learned tonight from two other Pentagon envelopes that tested positive for ricin, the potentially deadly poison. One of them addressed to Secretary of Defense James Mattis. Tonight, that Pentagon facility is now in quarantine. All the letters are being investigated. And ABC's main global affairs correspondent, Martha Raddatz, leads us. Reporter: The secret service intercepted a suspicious envelope on Monday addressed to the president. The envelope was intercepted before reaching the white house. Two other envelopes sent to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, the other to a member of the Joint Chiefs, the Chief of the Navy, Admiral John Richardson, tested positive on the ricin field test. This is the Pentagon mail installation where the letters are scanned every day. All the mail received yesterday is being quarantined. If these two gentlemen opened these envelopes and had enough in their system, it could have damaged them. Reporter: Ricin is found naturally in beans, and in its purest form, can be deadly. In 2013, the letters addressed to President Obama and other officials contained ricin. A man from Mississippi was arrested and is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence. So, let's go to Martha Raddatz to live with us tonight. And Martha, I suppose the FBI will carry out another series of tests. We know that sometimes there may be false positives. And the other big question tonight, are all these letters related? Reporter: Exactly, David. Clearly, the envelopes themselves will be very useful evidence, but also, they will see if the three letters are linked in any way. But there are many tests to be done. David? Martha Raddatz takes us tonight. Martha, thank you. Next, to the race against.
