A letter addressed to President Barack Obama that contained a "suspicious substance" has been intercepted at the White House's off-site mail facility, a Secret Service spokesman said Wednesday.
The letter arrived Tuesday, the same day as an envelope addressed to U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker that initially tested positive for the deadly poison ricin.
The letter addressed to the president was very similar to the one sent to Wicker, a law enforcement source said.
