Mocobizscene – On Monday, an unknown suspect delivered Donald Trump Jr. a letter containing a white powder substance, prompting multiple fire vehicles and men in hazardous gear to arrive at his Florida residence.
According to The Daily Beast, three people acquainted with the incident said that Mr. Trump, the former president’s eldest son, opened the letter and caused the White House to fly out.
The Jupiter, Florida, police agency did not respond to the outlet’s request for comment.
Mr. Trump isn’t the only politician who has been given white power. The toxin is especially terrifying since it mimics anthrax, a weapon that kills swiftly if inhaled.
Throughout history, letters containing white powder have been used in hoaxes to frighten public officials.
In 2011, a Colorado man acknowledged delivering envelopes containing white power, which were later discovered to be sugar, to former President Barack Obama, members of Congress, and Argentine consulates.
Last year, more than 120 Republican state politicians from Kansas, Tennessee, and Montana received packages containing the same material along with threatening letters. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has initiated an investigation into the event.
