8. Updated report from CNN:

(CNN)CNN's New York offices and studios have been evacuated due to a phoned bomb threat, the company said.

Several fire alarm bells rang inside CNN's New York newsroom, signaling an evacuation shortly after 10:30 p.m.

Staffers evacuated the building and Don Lemon's "CNN Tonight" was taken off the air.

In the meantime, the network has gone to taped programming.

Numerous police and fire department trucks have blocked all vehicle and pedestrian traffic on West 58th Street between 8th and 9th Avenue due to a police investigation at Columbus Circle, where the Time Warner Center is located, the New York Police Department tweeted.

The network's bureau in the Time Warner Center was evacuated in October after a package with an explosive device, addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, was discovered, officials said.

someone called and said there were 5 bombs in the building.

[BigmanPigman]

11. "The police are doing a repeat of what happened in Oct", Don Lemon is

saying right now. Of course it is related to the fucking moron's actions and behavior. He can not be allowed to stay in office another week, let alone two more years.

[George II]

12. trump tweeted "fake news, the enemy of the people", and 34 minutes later....

....the bomb threats were called in.

I wonder if it's John Miller or John Baron who called them in?
