The Daily Beast reported:
Multiple fire trucks and men in hazmat suits were spotted outside Donald Trump Jr.’s home in Jupiter, Florida, on Monday evening after he received a letter containing an unidentified white powder inside of it, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
“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 in a statement to ABC News.
This is the second incident when Trump Jr. received an envelope containing a suspicious white powder.
According to ABC News:
In 2018, during the Trump’s presidency, Donald Trump Jr.’s then-wife Vanessa opened an envelope addressed to him and was rushed to the hospital as a precaution. A man from Massachusetts was subsequently arrested and sentenced to five years of probation in connection to sending numerous threatening letters containing suspicious powder to multiple high-profile individuals, including Trump.
The police said at the time that a preliminary test showed the substance was not dangerous.
Donald Trump Jr. has been on the campaign trail with his father, speaking at events in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina in recent months.
He is also slated to appear at a major fundraiser for his father in Washington, D.C., next month alongside Trump’s allies in Congress, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Sens. Steve Daines, Tim Scott and JD Vance.
The former president’s son has been on the campaign trail as the 2024 presidential election draws closer.
The envelope reportedly contained a death threat, according to the Daily Caller.

“It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,” Donald 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,” he added.
