Donald Trump's older sister, federal appeals court judge Maryanne Trump Barry, received a threatening letter in Philadelphia on Friday one day after the GOP front-runner's son received a suspicious piece of mail containing white powder, sources told NBC News.
There was no white powder sent to Trump Barry, although the threat included in her letter was similar to that given to Eric Trump, a source familiar with the investigation said. Eric Trump's letter, received Thursday, demanded that his real estate mogul father drop out of the Republican race for the presidential nomination.

Trump Barry, a 78-year-old judge with the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, was the subject of some scrutiny earlier this year when Trump mentioned her in jest when asked about whom he would appoint to the Supreme Court.

Rival Ted Cruz, meanwhile, called Trump Barry a "radical pro-abortion extremist" for her ruling against banning abortions in New Jersey.
The mail sent to Eric Trump was postmarked in Massachusetts, police sources said, but preliminary tests deemed the substance non-hazardous.
Calls for suspicious and threatening packages are common for high profile personalities. Katy Tur
More Leftists sharing their tolerant side I presume.
Security for all of them. Take it away from obummer’s kids and wife. :)
A little praying for Trump and his family can’t hurt.

They hate us and plan to destroy us. That’s the reality.
ALL RIGHT THANK YOU FR personnel - the glitch is gone :-))
Ted Cruz to blame Donald Trump in ...3, 2, 1...
Well, from now until Trump leaves office (if elected) any harm that befalls his family or relatives will result in a very unhappy Trump . . . and Trump just doesn’t appear to be the bull folks want to mess with.
Threatening a federal judge used to be serious offence.
But I am pretty sure since Maryanne Trump Barry is related to Donald Trump, any charges will be misdemeanors.
Let no weapon against him and his prosper, Amen.
Just the Antichrist bubbling up.
The media had better put their hateful interest on these nuts out there... and leave the Donald alone. They like to blame the conservative right because they think they can and we will do nothing in return. The media are scared of the left loonies... and tread lightly when they come out. Watch The Donald take care of this crap... I don’t think he’s afraid of those nuts.. and he’s sure not going to let his family be threatened.
Do you Cruz supporters REALLY THINK something like this will work on Trump?
Sorry - didn’t mean you, more of a generic comment to the people opposing Trump.
People wonder WHO is/will be the Antichrist. It won't be one person. It is the Anti-Christian mentality and it is bubbling up, as you say, in humans across the planet.
Its one thing for the person running but the family quite another, remember this could happen to Cruz also even if he is an “insider”...
No harm done - realized what u meant. :-))
At least we know Cruz isn’t the AC: the AC is supposed to be ridiculously popular and charismatic.
Then there’s Trump properties under threat..
