Trump has no plans to call the people the packages were addressed to

From CNN's Kaitlan Collin

A senior White House official said President Trump has no intention of calling those targeted with pipe bombs.

Authorities have found 12 packages — addressed to 10 people — in recent days.

Here's the full breakdown of the Democratic politicians and prominent Trump critics who have been sent packages:

Billionaire investor George Soros: One package, sent to his home in New York.

Bill and Hillary Clinton: One package mailed to their home in New York but intercepted by the Secret Service.

Barack Obama: One package mailed to Washington, D.C., but intercepted by the Secret Service.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder: One package addressed to him but sent to the Florida office of Democratic lawmaker Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Democratic US Rep. Maxine Waters: Two suspicious packages: one intercepted at a congressional mail-screening facility in Maryland and a second one found at a postal facility in Los Angeles.

Former CIA Director John Brennan: A "live explosive device" was addressed to Brennan and delivered by courier to CNN's offices at the Time Warner Center in New York.

Former Vice President Joe Biden: Two packages found at post offices in Delaware.

Actor Robert De Niro: One package sent to him at the Manhattan building where his production company is based.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper: One package found at a New York City post office. It was also addressed to CNN.

Sen. Cory Booker: One package, found in Florida.

Authorities are also investigating another suspicious package intercepted in Burlingame, California, that was addressed to billionaire Tom Steyer, according to a law enforcement source.

13. No because he believes he is the victim and all the media coverage is just so unfair to him

since he so desperately needs Repubs to remain in control of Congress to protect him and this puts a bit of a damper on his ramping up his hateful and divisive attacks on the real victims. But he has another rally in NC tonight so we will be sure to hear the 'Lock her up" chants and the attacks on media and Dems.
