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.

Investigators in crowded lobby of 100 Central Park South in Manhattan late on March 17, 2016 after what sources say was threatening letter was received by Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump

A source familiar with the matter said the envelope contained suspicious white powder that's been sent to a lab for testing. The source a preliminary field test indicated the substance didn't appear to be hazardous.

No injuries were reported.

Yeah - because Trump just gets NO publicity. Idiots.

Scratch a Liberal, find a violent statist underneath.
They are all about diversity, harmony, inclusion, and peace on the outside...unless you are not exactly like them.

Wasn’t that the reason Ross Perot dropped out of his first race?

(to spill his wind so he didn’t win, before he got back in it to ensure a Bill Clinton victory?)

There was a poster on twitter, with a female vixen avatar, who was constantly posting about doing horrible things to the Trump family, torturing them etc. I believe her handle was @Aliencoven vx or something like that. She was saying ISIS wasn’t the terrorist, Trump was. I believe she may have been a ‘he’ hiding behind a picture. Anyway, she would taunt and taunt everyone about how the FBI would never shut her down.

I do believe she was wrong. I checked her account yesterday,,ALL the tweets are gone for the most part, her pic is gone, etc.

Just mentioning because per posts reflect the same sick mentality as in this story.

I love how Trump was ready to square off against the threat! That was his natural reaction.

So far this week, we've had:
(1) a thug try to rush the stage to attack Trump at a rally;
(2) #Anonymous declaring "total war" on Trump;
(3) death threat to Trump's family.

The MSM/Establishment/Left Alliance must be worried

I hope he turns the tables on this mob when he becomes President.
Meanwhile, I pray for his safe keeping.

For all I know, he could have lived in a mansion in CT.

I tried looking him up on whitepages.com. For a few bucks that web site will spill a lot of beans, including address. For free it revealed he is 32, and lives in NY, NY. The Trumps are of a type where they "have" to live in NY. As one NYer I know, who briefly went to New Jersey, and then returned: "If you aren't in New York, you aren't in the game", and she was the matriarch of a very traditional Catholic family.

All the Trumps will always have a residence in New York, even if they don't spend much time there. They have to be "in the game".

Yes, it may be from a left-wing loon, but I wouldn’t put it past the right-wing GOP-e either.

“Tolerant” progressives at it again

Or some of the "Cruz or Lose" crowd.....

Oh, please. You do know we have adequate rail, bus and car service to NYC? I mean, Martha Stewart often commutes from the Hamptons by limo and her own convertible! A ride from Greenwich, CT is under an hour. Some very important people commute on a daily basis.

I assume people like the Trumps have lavish apartments in NYC as well as secondary homes in NJ or CT or Westchester. Actually, like Bloomberg, they probably fly to their secondary homes.

I’m from Connecticut originally, and you couldn’t pay me to live in NYC (Well, you could, but it would have to be a lot, and quite temporary.)

Metro North and Amtrak were fine for Manhattan, and the car over the Triboro bridge for Brooklyn/Queens, and the Hutcbinaon River Parkway for the Bronx. But some people just need that Manhattan address.

Threatening harm to anyone is a terrible thing, but lets be clear Eric Trump is not a child he’s a grown man.

[longfellowsmuse]

I lived in MA until I was 19, could be anyone, there are a lot of crazy people there.

[Suz in AZ]

I took it as a threat against Eric’s children.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Poorly written article.

Cannot tell if they mean Eric + siblings are threatened, or Eric’s actual children (if any) are threatened.

[longfellowsmuse]

Maybe you’re right, the article was unclear.

[RummyChick]

That is so brilliant that a freeper must have made it.

[pgkdan]

He spun around and was fixing to go medieval on whatever was coming up on him. Donald “The Doberman” Trump

I can't think of another politician who wouldn't have ducked or run for cover, and I don't blame them, but Donald turned around ready to take on all comers. That's a man.

[AppyPappy]

Not surprising. I see FB memes of Trump as Hitler and people lynching blacks during Jim Crow days....in Trump’s name of course.
That’s why I don’t think Trump has a chance.

[Faith65]

I saw that witch sign too.

The left is full of crazies!
