Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate in the 2016 election, was in Florida campaigning for Democrats on Tuesday night, but her husband was at home, reports said. She later said her family was fine.
Officials said Obama was not at risk.
"Both packages were intercepted prior to being delivered to their intended location," according to the Secret Service. "The protectees did not receive the packages nor were they at risk of receiving them."
The packages were recovered after an explosive device was found earlier this week in a mailbox at the Bedford, state of New York, home of billionaire investor and major Democratic donor George Soros.
Also on Wednesday morning, the New York Police Department responded to a suspicious device found in the Time Warner Center, where the cnn newsroom in New York is based. The building, which was evacuated, has been reopened and personnel is being allowed to come back.
The package was reportedly addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, who regularly appears as a television contributor.
According to cnn, the device found in the Time Warner Center's mailroom is similar to the ones addressed to Obama, Clinton and Soros.
It also reported that the initial examination of all of the devices shows them to be constructed similarly. At least one of the devices appeared to contain projectiles, including shards of glass. The devices are rudimentary but functional.
