Trump jnr’s wife in health alert over white powder letter

- By Nick Allen in Washington

DONALD TRUMP’S daughter-in-law was taken to hospital yesterday as a precaution after opening a letter containing an unidentifi­ed white powder.

Vanessa Trump opened the letter, which was addressed to Donald Trump jnr, her husband, then immediatel­y called the emergency services. Officials said the powder was not hazardous and may have been corn starch.

The letter arrived at a flat owned by Mr Trump jnr but occupied by his wife’s mother. The Secret Service is investigat­ing who sent the letter.

Last night, the president’s eldest son tweeted: “Thankful that Vanessa & my children are safe and unharmed after the incredibly scary situation that occurred this morning. Truly disgusting that certain individual­s choose to express their opposing views with such disturbing behavior [sic].”
