CNN is now broadcasting from Washington, D.C. The news comes after reports of bombs being mailed to former President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Another explosive device was found in the home mailbox of billionaire financier and donor to liberal causes George Soros on Monday.
