Police probe letter threat to Trump’s son
Print Edition
POLICE and the FBI are investigating a threatening letter sent to the Manhattan apartment of Donald Trump’s son Eric that contained a white powder, two law enforcement officials said yesterday.
Preliminary tests on the substance sent to Eric Trump’s apartment on Thursday indicated it was not hazardous, according to the officials, who declined to be named.
The handwritten letter was postmarked March 5 from Boston and made reference to Donald Trump’s bid for the presidency.
The letter said: “If your father does not drop out of the race, the next envelope won’t be a fake.” It was signed “X,” according to one of the officials, who had seen the letter.
In a statement, the New York Police Department confirmed that it had responded to a Trump building overlooking Central Park to investigate a suspicious letter received by a tenant but didn’t name the recipient.
Eric Trump, 32, is one of five children of the businessman and Republican presidential frontrunner. He has been campaigning in support of his father.
Representatives of Donald Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
