The Secret Service, FBI and New York Police Department are investigating after a threat was sent to a member of presidential candidate Donald Trump’s family.
They say his son, Eric Trump, received a suspicious package containing white powder and a threatening message at his apartment in Manhattan on Thursday.
Police sources told NBC News the mail was postmarked in Massachusetts.
He is the middle son of presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The security team at Eric Trump’s building alerted authorities after his wife opened the envelope shortly after 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
According to reports, the letter contained a threatening message, implying Donald Trump’s children would be hurt if he didn’t withdraw from the presidential race.
NBC News reports preliminary tests deemed that substance non-hazardous.
