According to multiple reports, a hazmat team and fire trucks responded to the home of Donald Trump Jr. Monday afternoon after he discovered mail that had white powder inside an envelope.

Trump Jr. reportedly was at his home in Jupiter, Florida, when he found the currently unidentified substance.

“Multiple fire trucks and personnel in hazmat suits have been spotted outside Donald Trump Jr.’s home in Jupiter, Florida, on Monday evening after he received a letter containing an unidentified white powder, according to three sources familiar with the matter,” Rawsalerts wrote.

“Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, opened the envelope, causing the white powder to fly out, as reported by one of the sources. A representative for the former president’s son stated that it remains unclear what exactly the substance was but confirmed that Trump Jr.’s life does not appear to be in danger,” Rawsalerts added.

Per Axios:

“The test results of the substance came up inconclusive on what it was exactly, but officials on the scene do not believe it is deadly,” a spokesman for Trump said.

Representatives for the Jupiter Police Department did not immediately respond to Axios’ request for comment.

“This is now the second time a demented leftist has mailed me a death threat with white powder. If this happened twice to a prominent Democrat, there would be hearings in Congress, but since my last name is Trump, the media will move on in a day. The hatred the left has for my family knows no bounds,” Trump Jr. told MxM News.

From Daily Mail:

Multiple first responders were on the scene at the $9.7 million Jupiter home Trump Jr. shares with girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle after he opened up the letter and reportedly white powder came flying out, The Daily Beast reported.

‘The test results of the substance came up inconclusive on what it was exactly, but officials on the scene do not believe it is deadly,’ a spokesperson for Trump Jr. said.

However, that hasn’t stopped the conservative firebrand from calling out a double standard in political media.

‘It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,’ he told The Daily Caller.

‘Clearly, if this happened to a prominent Democrat it wouldn’t be tolerated and would drive news coverage for weeks. The media would blame all Republicans and force them to answer for it, But since it’s me, radical haters on the left will largely get a free pass and the media will barely flinch.’

He said that the incident was a sign of ‘the left’s hatred’ of his father driving ‘people to do such crazy things.

‘It doesn’t matter what your politics are, this type of crap is unacceptable,’ he added.

Trump Jr. said that this had happened previously during his father’s presidency while he was living with his then-wife and children.
