BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts man has been charged with sending a letter with a white powder to Donald Trump Jr. that landed his wife, Vanessa, in the hospital.
Daniel Frisiello, of Beverly, was arrested Thursday. He is expected to appear in federal court in Worcester later Thursday. It could not immediately be determined if he has a lawyer.
Federal authorities say he also sent letters containing powder to four other people, including the office of Sen. Debbie Stabenow, of Michigan.
The letter to the president’s son was opened by Vanessa Trump on Feb. 12. She called 911 and reported she was coughing and felt nauseous. She was hospitalized briefly.
The substance in the letter turned out to be cornstarch.
Couldn’t his dealer have been a little less conspicuous?
Cornstarch?! Well, one can hardly expect a superior person such as the junior Ms. Trump to recognize such a plebian substance for what it is - the “feel” is quite distinctive. “Coughing and nauseous”? The power of the mind is wondrous to behold. Princess snowflake.
ETA: They couldn’t find the Federal courthouse in Boston? Meh. It was a decent day, so a nice ride to Worcester rather than battle traffic.
She called 911 and reported she was coughing and felt nauseous. She was hospitalized briefly.
A corn starch allergy?
My scalp tingles if I’m near a box of Grape Nuts.
