WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. investigation of suspicious packages sent to prominent Democrats and critics of Republican President Donald Trump is focusing on leads in Florida, a federal law enforcement source said on Thursday.

The law enforcement source also said investigators believe all 10 of the suspicious packages found so far went through the U.S. Postal Service at some point.

Those packages were addressed to former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and others, as well as actor Robert DeNiro, a vocal critic of President Trump.

The president has denounced the apparent bombing attempts, saying "Such conduct must be fiercely opposed and thoroughly prosecuted," but at a rally Thursday night and again Friday morning he blamed the media, tweeting that "fake news is fueling anger around the country."

Most of the packages were intercepted at mail facilities and got nowhere near their intended targets.
