Trump Jr.’s wife, Vanessa, was hospitalized after she opened the envelope.
The white powder was later discovered to be non-hazardous, and no one was harmed.
The letter was postmarked from Boston, and the white substance appeared to be corn starch.
Officials familiar told NBC that the letter said:
“You are an awful, awful person. I am surprised that your father lets you speak on TV. You the family idiot. Eric looks smart. This is the reason why people hate you. You are getting what you deserve. So shut the fu*k up.”
