The White House on Wednesday condemned "despicable" acts targeting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, after authorities intercepted suspicious packages addressed to the former president and defeated presidential nominee.

"These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law," said Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

"The United States Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies are investigating and will take all appropriate actions to protect anyone threatened by these cowards."
