Envelope with suspicious white powder delivered to Manhattan DA investigating Donald Trump
An envelope of white powder was discovered addressed to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
An envelope of white powder was discovered addressed to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Wednesday.
The envelope of white powder was ‘found inside the location’ around 12.00pm, the NYPD confirmed to Metro.co.uk.
Court officials said the envelope was delivered to a mailroom at 80 Centre Street, the state office building where a grand jury is currently hearing testimony against former President Donald Trump.
‘The DA has informed the office that it was immediately contained and that the NYPD Emergency Service Unit and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection determined there was no dangerous substance,’ a spokesperson from Bragg’s office said.
According to a report from NBC News, the letter was addressed to ‘Alvin’ and contained a note with the message reading: ‘ALVIN: I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
The same sources said that the envelope was mailed from Orlando, Florida and postmarked on Tuesday – the same day Trump incorrectly predicted he would be arrested.
The district attorney is currently investigating former president Trump for his role in a $130,000 payment in to porn star Stormy Daniels.
The cash was allegedly sent to the adult film actress by the ex-president’s attorney Michael Cohen in 2016 as a hush money to buy her silence about an affair with Trump in 2006.
Hours before the threat, former president posted a message on his Truth Social platform that warned of ‘death & destruction’ if he faced criminal charges.
In the post, Trump called the prosecutor ‘a degenerate psychopath that truely [sic] hates the USA!’
In another early-morning post which has since been deleted, the former president posted a selfie holding a baseball bat next to a photo of DA Bragg.
