NEW YORK -- The Secret Service, FBI and New York Police Department are investigating what sources tell CBS News is a threatening piece of mail sent to Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump.
The mail, sent to Eric Trump at his posh Manhattan residence at 100 Central Park South, also known as Trump Parc East, was opened by his wife Thursday.
A source close to the investigation said the letter had a Massachusetts postmark and warned that if Donald Trump doesn't withdraw from the race for the Republican presidential nomination -- paraphrasing -- harm will come to the kids.

So it starts—people will die over the intollerance of the Left. The violence has just started but in the end a new GOP and a new Republic will be born.
....this could be a Hilda maneuver too. Sanders is getting too close. Clintonestas strike Sanders blamed
I just can’t believe that the GOPe would go to this level to try to get their guy on the ticket in place of Trump. I just don’t see how Romney, Jeb, or Linda would have a prayer in 2016. What’s the point?
(well, we know it’s NOT the Left doing this, because the GOPe, along with many FReepers here, keep telling us that Trump is the easiest to beat and is really a liberal in disguise - so the has NO MOTIVE to deny Trump the nomination)
This was bound to happen, and is more common across the board than we know.
It is heartbreaking when you think how Trump is in it for the good of the country, and so many are not appreciative of his sacrifices on every level.
I pray for Donald Trump, his family and all of the other candidates. No matter which side they are on, there is no excuse for these types of threats.
Comments now on the CBS article too claiming Trump did this himself.
Hmmmmmm. Isn’t it interesting that this is exactly the tactic used against Ross Pprot.
Hope the
Trumps are stronger
Back to the days of anthrax letters?
Bet it is the same guy who sent out the anthrax letters for the Iraq war?
The Fourth Estate is the Fifth Column in this country.
Hi Nita! Having seen you around for quite a while!! Your keen eye on the video was very informative.....hope the SS is as good as you!
When he comes out with makeup and a fifteen foot python...you *know* who we're gonna call....doncha? :)
Back when Ross Perot was running, folks still believed the system of choosing a nominee was essentially above board. Folks generally accepted that Perot was imagining things.
Today, does anyone doubt that the thugs (both political parties) are capable of scare tactics to thwart candidates?
This type of hatred has been ginned up by the liberal media...shame on them...
Massachusetts postmark and warned that if Donald Trump doesn’t withdraw....
The only one I know from Massachusetts that could be involved is Mitt Romney. It probably came from one of Mitt Romney’s staffers.
This is the first I’ve seen something like this reported, but that doesn’t mean this is the first time his family has been threatened.
I suspect the threats have been steadily coming either overtly or covertly for some time.
And now that DJT has entered the home stretch, I’m sure the boys in Arkansas have been given their marching orders. I wonder how long it will take for them to realize that Manhattan is a little different than the back woods of AR.
There are many Trump bldgs. in NYC. Although I never thought about it, I wouldn’t immediately guess that he lived in a Trump building on Central Park South. For all I know, he could have lived in a mansion in CT.
The mailer obviously knew exactly where he lived.
One thing I have noticed, is that Trump always facing the threat—whether it is a protester or someone bumrushing the stage.
Even during his rallies, he will walk toward the side of the stage facing the protestor, or walk behind the podium if the protester is behind him.
That man needs to be the next President of the United States.
