A suspicious package that turned out to contain horse manure sparked a bomb scare near the Los Angeles home of US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, reports say.

The gift-wrapped manure was found at 19:40 (03:40 GMT) at the home next to Mr Mnuchin's in Bel-Air, police said.

Police cleared the package an hour later and the Secret Service is investigating, CBS said.

There were a lot of frustrated neighbors. Including Zsa Zsa Gabor's widower.

"We have $50 million homes and we can't move, we can't get out," Prince Frederick von Anhalt, who was trapped for two hours, said. "That's bad, they have to find another way."

    I don't know. That's pretty funny I think. Use their own tools against them for a change?

    I also think it's really funny. Probably too bad that The Trump gang is so paranoid that they lack any sense of humor (unless of course they are making fun of so called minority peoples, or talking about groping young women).

        If someone left a package of shit at Crooked Hillary's house -- at one of her houses -- nobody would be laughing. They would think it was her health care plan. Or her foreign policy. And they'd ignore that package of shit. Because she's a LOSER. She lost very badly. Even with millions of votes from illegals & dead people! #MAGA #TRUMP2020 🇺🇸
