A powdery substance was found with a threatening letter in a mailroom at the offices of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Friday.
NYPD and environmental protection officials isolated and removed the suspicious letter, and testing"determined there was no dangerous substance," Bragg spokesperson Danielle Filson said."Alvin, I am going to kill you," the letter said, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person was not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing investigation and did so on condition of anonymity.
Hours earlier, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that any criminal charge against him could lead to"potential death & destruction." Security has been heavy around the court buildings and district attorney's office in recent days as the grand jury investigates hush money paid on Trump's behalf during his 2016 campaign.
In a memo to staff Friday, Bragg said the office has also been receiving offensive and threatening phone calls and emails. He thanked his staff of nearly 1,600 people for persevering in the face of"additional press attention and security around our office" and said their safety remains the top priority.
