The package was addressed to former President Donald J. Trump. However, Trump was not present at the RNC, and no injuries were reported.
According to Politico, it contained several leaking ice packs and sealed vials of blood. Unknown sources of blood are considered to be hazardous material because blood may contain infectious pathogens and viruses such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and even HIV.
