Hazmat Team Sent To Donald Trump Jr.’s Home Over Letter Filled With White Powder: Report

A hazardous materials team was sent to Donald Trump Jr.’s home in Jupiter, Florida, on Monday after he opened a letter with an unidentified white powder inside, according to multiple accounts.

The Daily Beast first reported that several firetrucks and a hazmat team were spotted outside the home of the former president’s oldest son.

“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. told the Beast.

Axios later published photos of the hazmat team in full protective equipment inside the home.

A Massachusetts man was sentenced to five years of probation in 2019 after he admitted to mailing letters filled with a suspicious powder to Trump Jr. and other prominent figures in previous years.
