Capitol Police respond to 'incident' at DNC headquarters in DC

Senate staffers were warned on Thursday to stay away from the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In an alert to Senate staff, the Capitol Police said they were "responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters. Staff are asked to remain clear of the police activity," according to Semafor correspondent Burgess Everett.

A spokesperson for the DNC later stated that a bomb threat was found to be not credible.

“This afternoon, there was a bomb threat to DNC HQ that was determined to not be credible by the U.S. Capitol Police. Out of an abundance of caution, Capitol Police is conducting an interior sweep of the building," the person said.
