A pipe bomb was found at Republican National Committee (RNC) headquarters just blocks away from the U.S. Capitol and the nearby headquarters of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was evacuated after a suspicious package was discovered there.

The discoveries were reported by The New York Times on Wednesday afternoon as a mob of President Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol, a chaotic and violent scene that prompted the evacuation of lawmakers, congressional staffers, reporters and others.

According to the Times’s reporting, the pipe bomb at the RNC headquarters was destroyed by a bomb squad, while the suspicious package found at the DNC offices has not yet been identified.
