The home of Donald Trump Jr.’s home has been swarmed with emergency crews after an envelope containing a death threat and a mystery white power was opened by the 45th president’s son.
Multiple fire trucks were spotted outside Trump Jr.’s home in Jupiter, Florida, on Monday evening.
A hazmat team was also seen entering and searching the property with specialist equipment.
The emergency response was triggered when he received a letter containing an unidentified white powder inside of it.
Don Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump, received the letter and opened the envelope—causing the white powder to fly out, according to reports.
The Jupiter Police Department has yet to issue a statement on the situation.
A representative for President Trump’s son said it remains unclear what exactly the substance was.
However, they confirmed that Trump Jr.’s life does not appear to be in danger.
“The test results of the substance came up inconclusive on what it was exactly, but officials on the scene do not believe it is deadly,” a spokesperson for Trump Jr. said.
The envelope also contained a letter that made threatening statements against the lives of Trump family members.
VIEW THE LETTER (WARNING: LANGUAGE):
Don Trump Jr. is a vocal and adamant supporter of his father and has been on the campaign trail with him often throughout the year.
“It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,” Don Trump Jr. told the Daily Caller.
“Clearly, if this happened to a prominent Democrat it wouldn’t be tolerated and would drive news coverage for weeks.
“The media would blame all Republicans and force them to answer for it.
“But, since it’s me, radical haters on the Left will largely get a free pass and the media will barely flinch.
“It doesn’t matter what your politics are, this type of crap is unacceptable,” Trump Jr. continued.
“This is actually the second white powder substance envelope that’s been mailed to me.
“The last time we had this happen, it was during my father’s presidency and my then-wife opened it up with my kids by her side.
“So, it’s just sad that we live in a society where politics and the Left’s hatred of my father would drive people to do such crazy things, but that’s where we are unfortunately.”
In March 2016, police detectives and FBI agents investigated a threatening letter sent to the Manhattan apartment of Don Jr.’s brother Eric Trump.
That letter also contained a white powder that turned out to be harmless.
In 2016, envelopes containing white powder were also sent twice to Trump Tower.
At the time, the New York City building served as Trump’s campaign headquarters.
Hoax attacks using white powder play on fears that date to 2001, when letters containing deadly anthrax were mailed to news organizations and the offices of two U.S. senators.
Those letters killed five people.
