«Breaking News» Police investigating telephone bomb threat at CNN offices

Police are investigating a fake bomb threat at the building housing CNN's New York offices in Manhattan.

The antonymous phone call was received by a member of staff at the Time Warner building at 25 Columbus Circle Thursday night.

CNN said several fire alarm bells signaling an evacuation rang inside its newsroom shortly after 10:30pm.

The bomb threat was made just 20 minutes after President Trump tweeted that fake news was 'the enemy of the people' - the latest in many of his attacks on the media.

The threat came less than an hour after President Trump tweeted 'FAKE NEWS,' which he has often labeled CNN

In a tweet, CNN's Brian Stelter said the office had been evacuated and that CNN was airing taped programming.

Don Lemon, who was on the air at the time of the bomb threat was forced to abandon his show.

'We were told to evacuate the building and to do it as soon as possible. We grabbed what we could and got out of the building and now, we are standing outside of the building,' Lemon said on CNN. 

'All of the employees, all the people who were in the building as we were doing our live broadcast are out of the Time Warner Center now,' he added.

CNN ended up broadcasting from the street outside their building with Don Lemon on air

Chris Cuomo also tweeted about the incident, but said employees expected to be allowed back into the building 'ASAP.' 

According to police, someone phoned in a threat stating there were five bombs placed throughout Time Warner Center. 

After a sweep of the building, police did not find any explosives and employees were allowed back inside the building just after 11pm. 

Within the same hour as the bomb threat, President Donald Trump, who has made a political career of attacking CNN, had just tweeted about 'fake news'.

'FAKE NEWS - THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE,' Trump tweeted just after 10pm. 

No evidence of any device was found, but the building was evacuated as a precaution

An 'unsubstantiated telephone threat' was called into the network by a person who said there were five bombs in the building

Security officers evacuated the building as a precaution and called police. A preliminary search by in-house security did not turn up anything, and the NYPD also found nothing

In October, the building was partially evacuated after a suspicious package containing a crude pipe bomb was delivered to the company.  

That package was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, who was a contributor to the network for a time. 

Cesar Sayoc, a Florida resident, was arrested for allegedly sending that bomb, as well as a number of others, to prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, Cory Booker and Maxine Waters. Sayoc was indicted last month.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
