Wednesday, October 31, 2018 Happy Halloween! Welcome to FOX News First. Not signed up yet? Click here.   Developing now, Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2018 President Trump sparked debate and liberal outrage by indicating his intent to end birthright citizenship through an executive order. But Republicans point to a 1993 speech by a former top Democrat, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, to show that Dems were once against birthright citizenship The U.S. Border Patrol reportedly has warned Texas landowners along the U.S.-Mexico border that armed civilians may be in the area because of the migrant caravan approaching the U.S.  President Trump and first lady Melania Trump on Tuesday visited the Pittsburgh synagogue where 11 people were killed in a shooting massacre, and they were greeted with protests CNN is under fire for allowing its guests to make increasingly outrageous and irresponsible claims about Trump following last week's alleged mail bombing attempt and synagogue massacre Kanye West stunned observers by suggesting in a tweet that he was going to be less involved with politics The Indonesian jet that crashed with 189 people on board Monday may have been found early Wednesday, officials say THE LEAD STORY - DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP EXPOSED: President Trump ignited a national debate when, while speaking to "Axios on HBO," he announced his intention to use an executive order to end birthright citizenship, which he called "ridiculous" ... However, top Republicans are pointing to a 1993 speech by then-Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, in which the future Democratic Senate majority leader argued that "no sane country" would award citizenship to children of illegal immigrants born on its soil and promoted his own legislation to end the practice. In his speech, Reid advocated passing a law that would grant citizenship only to the children of mothers in the U.S. legally. Reid reversed his position in 1999, shortly after the powerful union group AFL-CIO changed its position to support birthright citizenship. Within hours of the Reid clip surfacing Tuesday, Republican leaders were quick to highlight Democrats' changing tune on immigration. "Stopping the flow of illegal immigration used to be a bipartisan issue," Ronna McDaniel, RNC chairwoman, wrote on Twitter. "But the Democrat leaders of today want to abolish ICE and open our borders." Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin reposted an article about Reid's speech.  - Reported by Gregg Re. Follow him on Twitter @gregg_re.  What does the 14th Amendment actually say? A look at birthright citizenship 'POSSIBLE ARMED CIVILIANS' AT THE BORDER: The U.S. Border Patrol this week reportedly told Texas landowners along the U.S.-Mexico border to prepare for a possible influx of "armed civilians" on their property as the migrant caravan moves closer to the U.S., a report said ... The Associated Press reported that these civilians say they intend to support the National Guard and Border Patrol to prevent the illegal migrants from crossing into the U.S. But some see the move as a negative, arguing that the armed civilians' presence would add even more tension should there be a confrontation. - Reported by Edmund Demarche.

Howard Kurtz: Trump's birthright citizenship interview sparks the media reaction he wanted FOX News Full Coverage: 2018 Midterms REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: TRUMP PAYS RESPECT IN PITTSBURGH, BUT IS NOT WELCOME - President Trump visited the Pittsburgh synagogue where 11 people were killed and six others were injured in a mass shooting Saturday over the objections of local officials who said this was not the time for him to come to the city ... Trump, his wife Melania, daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived Tuesday afternoon. No local dignitaries met them at the airport. A spokesman for Pittsburgh's Democratic mayor, Bill Peduto, claimed that the city did not have enough police to "provide enough protection at the funerals and to be able at the same time draw attention to a potential presidential visit." Two large demonstrations coincided with Trump's visit to the Tree of Life synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, where Saturday's massacre unfolded. One of the groups organizing the protest said they had three primary goals: educating the public on the Jewish grieving process, demonstrating that anti-Semitism is not acceptable in Pittsburgh and sending a message that President Trump is not welcome in the city. - Reported by Barnini Chakraborty.

Norm Coleman: Trump's Pittsburgh visit shows he is dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism Assistant to President Trump: What I learned from my visit to the Tree of Life Synagogue Pittsburgh rabbi receives hate mail for saying Trump would be welcome CNN'S NEW LOWS: CNN and anchor Jake Tapper are under fire for remaining silent when a guest on his program declared that President Trump had radicalized more people than ISIS ... Hours later, CNN's Don Lemon drew the ire of Majority Whip Steve Scalise by declaring that Democrats don't kill people, completing a 24-hour span being labeled CNN's "new low" by critics. CNN has preached a call for civility since its New York headquarters was evacuated when a pipe bomb was found in the mailroom last week. But critics feel the network only cares about hate speech when it comes from the right. This theory came to a head when controversial GQ Magazine columnist Julia Ioffe was on Tapper's show, "The Lead," on Monday during a heated debate about hateful rhetoric. "I think this president, one of the things that he really launched his presidential run on is talking about Islamic radicalization and this president has radicalized so many more people than ISIS ever did," Ioffe said. Tapper did not chime in, but David Urban, the panel's token conservative, didn't appreciate the remark. - Reported by Brian Flood. Follow him on Twitter at @briansflood. Dan Gainor: The New York Times hits new lows in hypocrisy YE 'DISTANCING' HIMSELF: Kanye West took to Twitter on Tuesday to reveal he's had enough of politics ... The outspoken fan of President Trump tweeted: "My eyes are now wide open and now realize I've been used to spread messages I don't believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!" What caused the change of heart? It's not entirely clear. In another tweet, he referenced "Blexit" – a campaign developed by conservative activist Candace Owens aiming to move African-American voters away from the Democratic Party. Owens is communications director for the right-leaning Turning Point USA. In a tweet, the rapper insisted that he hadn't wanted any involvement with Blexit, and didn't design the logo on its clothing, despite her claims that he did. - Reported by Elizabeth Zwirz. CRASHED PLANE MAY BE FOUND: Indonesian military officials say the Lion Air jet that crashed Monday with 189 people aboard may have been found in the Java Sea ... Hadi Tjahjanto, the armed forces chief, said a search and rescue team had identified the possible seabed location of the jet. Navy officer Harris Djoko Nugroho said the 72-foot long object is at a depth of 105 feet. He said divers will be deployed after side-scan sonar has produced more detailed images. The team had previously found debris and some human remains from the wreckage but not the main fuselage and the black boxes. - Reported by Bradford Betz. Follow him on Twitter @bradford_betz.

FOX NEWS FIRST: Trump rejects left's blame game in synagogue massacre, bomb mailings; Mueller probe at key phase

Having trouble viewing? View in Browser

Tuesday, October 30, 2018 Welcome to FOX News First. Not signed up yet? Click here. Developing now, Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2018 In an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with FOX News' Laura Ingraham, President Trump embraced being a 'nationalist' and rejected the left's attempts to blame him for last week's bomb mailings and the synagogue shooting massacre A week before the midterm elections, FOX News' Power Rankings have shifted in two closely-watched states: Texas and New Jersey President Trump and first lady Melania Trump are scheduled to visit Pittsburgh on Tuesday to offer comfort after the synagogue massacre that left 11 people dead A second caravan of Central American migrants crossed from Guatemala into Mexico on Monday as U.S. officials announced 5,200 troops would be deployed to the southern border. Trump told FOX News the migrants were 'wasting their time.' Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is said to be entering a critical phase as his team is expected to announce its findings shortly after the midterms State Department spokeswoman - and former FOX News host - Heather Nauert is a leading candidate to replace Nikki Haley as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, sources told FOX News THE LEAD STORY - FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP STRIKES BACK - President Trump staunchly defended his status as a nationalist and rejected any responsibility for last week's apparent pipe bomb mailings or the deadly shooting Saturday at a synagogue, in an exclusive interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham Monday night ... Cesar Sayoc, who allegedly sent explosive devices to CNN and several  top Democrats, among others, "was insane a long time before," Trump told "The Ingraham Angle." "You look at his medical records. He was insane for a long time," Trump added. He went on to deny strenuously that he had any connections to anti-Semitism in the wake of Saturday's deadly shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. The president has noted that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and daughter Ivanka are Jewish. "I just received an award from the State of Israel from [Prime Minister] Bibi Netanyahu, thanking me because I moved the [U.S.] Embassy to Jerusalem, making Jerusalem the capital of Israel and I just did that -- now how many presidents said they were going to do it and they never did it?" Trump said. Trump accused major media outlets, including The Washington Post, of hypocrisy, saying they didn't blame Bernie Sanders for the attempted assassination of several lawmakers at a Republican congressional baseball practice last year. That attack, which nearly killed House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and wounded several others, was carried out by left-wing gunman James Hodgkinson, who had worked on Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign. Trump, mainstream media caught up in high-stakes blame game Steve Hilton: Trump and his supporters are being blamed for a climate of rage and hate – but here's the truth FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS: TEXAS AND NEW JERSEY ACT ALIKE - Excerpt courtesy of FOX News Political Editor Chris Stirewalt and his FOX News Halftime Report - We we offer a pair of changes to the FOX News Power Rankings. As always, you can see all our rankings here, but today please consider a couple of long shots that might see incumbents coming up short: New Jersey and Texas ... The races look remarkably similar from a distance. Both feature incumbents who are less popular than their parties in their respective states and both have seen an avalanche of spending against them not nearly commensurate with their competitiveness relative to other contests. Fortunately, we have more and better polling in these states than in many other Senate contests. And in both cases, the incumbents lead by an average of about 7 points in the three most recent, methodologically sound polls, and both incumbents are getting, on average, more than half of the vote. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, leads Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas, 51.3 percent to 44.6 percent.  Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., leads businessman Bob Hugin 50.3 percent to 43.3 percent. Given the margins of the abundant polling, electoral composition of the states and the political climate, we had been content to call both of these races "likely." But there's something else to consider: Both Texas and New Jersey fit well into the "blue wave" and "red wall" scenarios quite well. CLICK HERE to read the rest of the report. FOX News Full Coverage: 2018 Midterms Chad Pergram: Kevin McCarthy is favorite to get speaker role if Republicans keep House, but not a shoo-in COMFORTER-IN-CHIEF: White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced plans for President Trump and first lady Melania Trump to visit Pittsburgh on Tuesday after the weekend synagogue massacre that left 11 people dead, while pushing back on what she called the "outrageous" notion the president deserves blame due to his tone ... "Tomorrow [Tuesday] the president and first lady will travel to Pennsylvania to express the support of the American people and grieve with the Pittsburgh community," Sanders said during Monday's press briefing. Sanders did not specifically detail where Trump will visit or with whom he will meet. In heated exchanges with reporters, Sanders then pushed back on the argument the president's rhetoric could have influenced the synagogue shooter, as well as the person who sent numerous pipe bombs in the mail to prominent Democratic figures. She called the suggestion "outrageous." Ben Shapiro: Pittsburgh synagogue shooting -- Why we still cling to the Tree of Life TROOPS TO THE BORDER: Hundreds of Central American migrants crossed a river from Guatemala into Mexico on Monday, defying a heavy federal police presence while following in the footsteps of a thousand-strong caravan making its way toward the U.S. border ... A low-flying police helicopter hovered overhead as the migrants waded in large groups through the Suchiate River's murky waters, apparently trying to use the downdraft from its rotors to discourage them. Guatemala's Noti7 channel reported that one man drowned and aired video of a man dragging a seemingly lifeless body from the river. Once on the Mexican side the migrants were surrounded and escorted by officers as sirens wailed. In southern Mexico, the original, larger caravan resumed its advance, still at least 1,000 miles or farther from their goal of reaching the United States, as FOX News previously reported, as the Pentagon announced it would send some 5,200 active-duty troops to "harden" the U.S.-Mexico border. The reinforcements headed to the U.S.-Mexico border are support troops – not combat troops – and will include three engineering battalions with "heavy equipment", as well as aviation and medical personnel. President Trump told "The Ingraham Angle" on Monday evening that the caravans are "wasting their time" and vowed, "They are not coming in." TURNING POINT FOR MUELLER PROBE: Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is nearing a critical phase -- as the looming midterms could clear the way for a final set of twists and turns in the long-running probe ... Key sentencing dates are on the horizon. Mueller's team is widely expected to issue findings soon after the Nov. 6 elections. And the case could yet hold some surprises, given the recent statements of central players. For one, George Papadopoulos, the former Trump aide sentenced to two weeks in prison after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI, has been on a Twitter tear complaining about the investigation. He told "Fox & Friends" last week he's even "considering withdrawing my agreement" with the government after learning "certain information." Whether Papadopoulos truly has information damaging to the probe remains to be seen. But the expectations are that Mueller is nearing the final phase of the investigation into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates in the 2016 presidential election. THE FRONT-RUNNER? - State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert is a "leading contender" to replace Nikki Haley as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, two sources familiar with the selection process told FOX News on Monday ... Nauert, a former FOX News host, met with President Trump in the Oval Office earlier Monday, though it is not known if they discussed the position. Several other officials have been named as potential candidates, including U.S. Ambassador to France Jamie McCourt. Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, surprised many observers earlier this month when she announced she would leave the post of U.N. envoy by the end of this year. AS SEEN ON FOX NEWS 'HOW FREE SPEECH DIES' - "The America of cable news and social media, of CNN and Twitter. In that America, political operatives rush to the scene of human tragedy hoping to leverage it for political gain. They make snap judgements on the basis of incomplete evidence in order to implicate their opponents in crimes they didn't commit. They use fear and rage to accomplish what reasoned argument never could. They commit moral blackmail."  – Tucker Carlson, in his opening monologue on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," arguing that a different "type" of America was proven to exist following the massacre at a Pennsylvania synagogue over the weekend.

FOX NEWS FIRST: Neighbors saw no warning signs in synagogue shooting suspect; Trump, Steyer in war of words

Monday, October 29, 2018 Welcome to FOX News First. Not signed up yet? Click here. Developing now, Monday, Oct. 29, 2018 Robert Bowers, the suspected gunman in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre is described by neighbors as a 'forgettable' loner who showed no signs of anti-Semitism as residents mourn the victims in Saturday's shooting. Bowers is scheduled to appear in court on Monday A massive rescue mission is underway after an Indonesian jet carrying 189 passengers crashed shortly after takeoff early Monday ICYMI: President Trump and liberal billionaire Tom Steyer engage in a war of words after Steyer blames Trump for the explosive devices sent by a supporter to top liberal figures and for the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting massacre A caravan of Central American migrants making its way to the U.S.-Mexico border took a break Sunday while another caravan tried to force its way into Mexico at the Guatemala border. Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen vowed to FOX News that caravans would not enter the United States The GOP appears to have made gains in key gubernatorial and Senate races as Democratic and Republican candidates nationwide look to gain momentum in final week before the midterm elections The Boston Red Sox won the World Series Sunday night, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 Far-right congressman Jair Bolsonaro was elected president of Brazil Sunday THE LEAD STORY - THE 'FORGETTABLE' SYNAGOGUE MASSACRE SUSPECT: The man accused of storming a Pittsburgh synagogue and killing 11 worshippers during an anti-Semitic rampage was described by neighbors as a loner who listened to talk radio, chain-smoked and was so bland in person that he bordered on being "forgettable" ... "I really wish there was some type of clue," Chris Hall, who lives next door to accused killer Robert Bowers, told Fox News. Hall said Bowers "felt more comfortable expressing his views online rather than in person. If I were to wave to him and he said, 'All Jews must die' or there was an SS sticker on his car, I would have f---ing reported him... but he didn't do any of those things." Bowers allegedly opened fire with an AR-15 rifle during worship services inside the Tree of Life Synagogue on Saturday, killing eight men and three women before a tactical police team tracked him down and shot him. Six other people were injured in the attack, including four police officers. Among the dead were a grandfather, a husband and wife and two brothers. The victims ranged in age from 54 to 97. Bowers faces 11 counts of criminal homicide, six counts of aggravated assault and 13 counts of ethnic intimidation in addition to federal counts that include weapons offenses and hate crime charges. Prosecutors say they intend to seek the death penalty. Synagogue shooting victims identified as brothers, husband and wife killed in 'unspeakable and hateful crime' Suspect told officers 'I just want to kill Jews,' affidavit says Netanyahu sends message of solidarity to Pittsburgh's Jewish community Hours after synagogue shooting, Pittsburgh begins healing process through sports SEARCH AND RESCUE AT SEA: An Indonesian jet carrying 189 passengers and crew crashed into the sea Monday shortly after takeoff from Jakarta, prompting a major rescue effort in the region, Indonesia's disaster agency reported ...  An agency spokesman posted photos of the debris including a crushed smartphone, books, bags, and parts of the aircraft fuselage that had been collected by search and rescue vessels. Indonesia's Lion Air said the Boeing 737-800 had lost contact with air traffic control about 10 minutes after its departure from Jakarta for Pangkal Pinang. Data for Lion Air's Flight 610 on aircraft tracking website FlightAware ends just a few minutes following takeoff. A telegram from the National Search and Rescue Agency to the air force had requested assistance with the search of a location at sea off Java. Lion Air is one of Indonesia's youngest and biggest airlines, flying to dozens of domestic and international destinations. ICYMI: STEYER VS. TRUMP: President Trump derided rival billionaire Tom Steyer as a "wacky" and "crazed & stumbling lunatic" on Sunday, after Steyer -- who was one of the prominent liberals to receive a threatening suspicious package last week -- said he "absolutely was blaming" Trump for creating an atmosphere in which "anything can bubble up, and anything is bubbling up" ... Steyer fired back quickly, writing that Trump's comment was "unthinkable ... in the midst of the horrible political violence." The Twitter spat erupted after Steyer's wide-ranging interview with CNN's "State of the Union," in which the hedge fund manager called Trump "corrupt," and accused him of "the most abject dereliction of duty in the history of the country" by "willingly putting Americans in harm's way" because he has dismissed a major United Nations report on global climate change. Steyer not only appeared to implicate the president's rhetoric in the suspected explosive devices allegedly mailed by Trump supporter Cesar Sayoc to top liberal figures, including Steyer, but also in the deadly mass shooting by gunman Robert Gregory Bowers at a synagogue on Saturday. Bowers regularly posted anti-Trump and anti-Semitic comments on social media. Michael Goodwin: The politicization of last week's attacks is not going to affect the midterm elections Peggy Noonan: We need to defuse America's explosive politics Hillary Clinton says, 'I'd like to be president' at NYC event A TALE OF TWO CARAVANS: More than a hundred Central American migrants reportedly tried to force their way through a customs gate at the Guatemalan border town of Tecun Uman to request passage into Mexico ... One migrant was reportedly killed. A Mexican official said Sunday that the group is seeking entry via Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico. Video from the Guatemalan newspaper Prensa Libre showed men arguing with Mexican immigration officials through the metal bars of a gate separating the two countries. Meanwhile, a larger caravan of Central American migrants attempting to reach the U.S. border took a rest break on Sunday, stopping in Tapanatepec, Mexico. The news came as Defense Secretary Jim Mattis announced that the military has already begun delivering countermeasures to the southern border. The Pentagon has sent jersey barriers in conjunction with plans to deploy active-duty troops there, and full details of the number of troops to be deployed as well as their roles should be announced Sunday night, he told reporters. During an appearance on "FOX News Sunday," Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen vowed that the caravan "is not getting in." Section of Trump's border wall unveiled in California as caravan advances north through Mexico FINAL STRETCH TO THE MIDTERMS: With Election Day eight days away, the final countdown to the pivotal midterms are in full-effect and Democrats and Republicans are fighting for momentum in key gubernatorial races and in the battle for control of Congress ... Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke is touting his new endorsements from three leading Texas newspapers in his insurgent bid to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, while the GOP makes apparent gains in several wild gubernatorial and Senate races. In Missouri, the RealClearPolitics (RCP) polling average now shows Republican Senate candidate Josh Hawley leading vulnerable incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill by 1 point, based on a new poll released Saturday by the Missouri Scout showing Hawley up by 4 points. Fox News currently considers the race a toss-up. The Senate continues to be favorable turf for Republicans, according to Fox News polling and the RCP average, as the GOP benefits from a favorable map this year: Democrats are forced to defend 26 seats, including 10 in states that Trump carried. (Only a third of the 100 Senate seats are up for election every two years.)A CBS poll released Sunday showed Republican Mike Braun ahead of incumbent Indiana Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly by 3 points -- within the margin of error, but still a worrying sign for Donnelly as the GOP builds momentum and tries to flip his seat. Meanwhile, on the heels of a rally hosted by Trump last week, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has pulled to within striking distance of Democrat Tony Evers, with Cook Political Report now declaring the race a toss-up that might turn on Walker's superior political organization. Fox News rates the contest as lean Democrat, and RCP's polling average gives Evers a 3.6 point edge, down from 6.3 in August. High-profile Democrats have also poured into the state in recent days, as Walker continues to cut into Evers' lead. And in Florida, where polls have consistently shown Democrat Andrew Gillum leading Republican Ron DeSantis in the gubernatorial race by a slim margin, early voting numbers show Republican voters are turning out in greater numbers than Democrats, suggesting an enthusiasm gap.

The Red Sox proved why they were the best team in baseball all season, defeating the Dodgers in just five games to clinch their ninth championship in franchise history. The Red Sox won their first two games at home, before dropping third game in Los Angeles and closing out the series in Game 4. "It's a dream come true," Red Sox center fielder Mookie Betts said after the game. POLITICAL 'OUTSIDER' ELECTED PRESIDENT IN BRAZIL: Brazil's Supreme Electoral Tribunal declared Sunday that far-right congressman Jair Bolsonaro, a champion of traditional Brazilian values, has won the country's election for the presidency of Latin America's biggest country and the world's fourth-largest democracy ... Bolsonaro, who cast himself as a political outsider despite a 27-year career in Congress, is the latest of several leaders around the globe to gain prominence by mixing tough, often violent talk with right-wing positions. But he also is very much a product of a political tempest in Brazil that made his messages less marginalized: widespread anger at the political class amid years of corruption, an economy that has struggled to recover after a punishing recession and a surge in violence. The name of his party, PSL, translates to "Social Liberal Party," although it largely abandoned its socially liberal platforms after he joined. Bolstering his rebel image is his reputation for offensive statements and sometimes extreme views, including insulting women, black people and the LGBT community.

Thursday, October 25, 2018 Welcome to FOX News First. Not signed up yet? Click here.   Developing now, Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018 FBI investigators have identified seven suspicious packages addressed to prominent liberals and Democratic leaders - including former President Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder and U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters – and believe more packages could surface in other locations President Trump, in a Wisconsin rally Wednesday night, condemned threats of political violence, called for unity, but also blamed the media. Democratic leaders and CNN President Jeff Zucker charged that Trump has played a role in creating a politically hostile environment The Central American migrant caravan is reportedly in Southern Mexico, approximately 1,000 miles from the nearest U.S.-Mexico border Wall Street will be watched closely Thursday after a stocks fell sharply Wednesday: The Dow lost 608 points while the S&P 500 dropped 3 percent, erasing their gains for the year THE LEAD STORY - FBI SEARCHES FOR SUSPECTS IN MAIL BOMB THREATS - The FBI said Wednesday evening that it had identified seven suspicious packages addressed to prominent Democratic political figures over the previous three days that contained "potentially destructive devices' and warned additional packages could have been mailed to other locations ... The nation was put on edge Wednesday amid reports of suspicious packages targeting leading Democratic critics of the Trump administration. The FBI initially said it had recovered five packages that were similar in appearance and bore the return address of an office for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. The packages were addressed to billionaire George Soros, Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, former CIA Director John Brennan -- care of CNN -- and former Attorney General Eric Holder. The FBI later confirmed that it had recovered two packages addressed to U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., that were similar to the five others. Law enforcement officials involved in the investigation have told FOX News that the similarity between the packages has led them to believe that a single individual or group could be responsible. President Trump condemned the threatening mailings Wednesday afternoon from the White House, saying that "acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America." He was joined by Vice President Mike Pence, who tweeted: "These cowardly actions are despicable & have no place in this Country." White House press secretary Sarah Sanders added: "These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law." Rep. Steve Scalise: After bombing attempts, all must agree that violence and terror have no place in politics Suspicious packages addressed to Obama, Clinton, others: A full list of recipients GOP candidate received letter threatening his seven children, reports say What the politicians are saying TRUMP CONDEMNS THREAT ... BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR DEM LEADERS, CNN PRESIDENT: At a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday evening, President Trump decried any threats of political violence as "an attack on our democracy itself," saying "We want all sides to come together in peace and harmony" -- and he also took aim at the media, charging that they are contributing to the problem  ... His comments came just hours after apparent explosive devices were sent to a series of top Democratic politicians, including former President Barack Obama, former Attorney General Eric Holder and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "My highest duty as president is to keep America safe," Trump told his audience at the Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee. "The federal government is conducting an impressive investigation, and we will find those responsible, and we will bring them to justice, hopefully very quickly." He continued: "Those engaged in the political arena must stop treating political opponents as being morally defective. The language of moral condemnation ... these are arguments and disagreements that have to stop. No one should carelessly compare political opponents to historical villains. It's got to stop. We should not mob people in public spaces or destroy public property. But House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Trump in a joint statement, saying the president's words "ring hollow until he reverses his statements that condone acts of violence. Hours after CNN's New York City headquarters was evacuated over an explosive device Wednesday, the network's president, Jeff Zucker, issued a statement condemning Trump and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, saying they "should understand their words matter." Zucker blasted what he called the administration's "continued attacks on the media." FBI investigators have yet to publicly identify a motive behind the threatening packages. CARAVAN WATCH: The caravan of Central American migrants, which has grown to approximately 7,200 people, according to United nations estimates, is reportedly in southern Mexico, about 1,000 miles from the closest U.S. border ... The caravan's journey and dramatic growth has generated headlines, attracted President Trump's wrath and reignited the immigration debate less than two weeks before Nov. 6 midterm elections. Trump has blamed Democrats for what he says are weak immigration laws, and he claimed that MS-13 gang members and unknown "Middle Easterners" were hiding among the migrants. The president later acknowledged there was "no proof" of the claim Middle Easterners were in the crowd. But he tweeted Wednesday that the U.S. "will never accept people coming into our Country illegally!" Extreme heat and the political wear and tear of the long journey may be whittling down the migrant caravan. Officials say nearly 1,700 migrants have already dropped out and applied for asylum in Mexico.

In overnight trading, equity futures seemed to stabilize with Dow, S&P and Nasdaq futures all in the green. However, the Dow tumbled 608 points, or 2.4 percent, to 24,583.42. The S&P 500 dropped 84.6 points, about 3 percent, to 2,656. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was down 329 points, or 4.4 percent, at 7,108. The selling picked up during the final hour of trading with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing near session lows. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq finished in correction territory.
