A hazmat team was called to Donald Trump Jr.’s home in Jupiter, Florida, on Monday after he received a mysterious white powder inside of an envelope in the mail, according to reports on the matter.
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, confirmed reports on the incident with the conservative media outlet The Daily Caller, saying, “It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens.”
“It doesn’t matter what your politics are, this type of crap is unacceptable,” he added.
A spokesperson for Donald Trump Jr. told Axios that testing was “inclusive” to determine what the substance was but that officials “do not believe it is deadly.” The incident was first reported by The Daily Beast.
