TRUMP FAMILY/DONALD JR: “Vanessa Trump, the wife of Donald Trump Jr., and two other people were taken to a New York hospital on Monday [2-12-18] after she opened a piece of mail containing an unidentified white powder that was later determined to be non-hazardous, officials said… Vanessa Trump, the daughter-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, was hospitalized after she complained of nausea following her exposure, New York officials said.
Three patients from the household were transported to the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center for further evaluation, said Fire Department spokeswoman Sophia Kim. The three included Vanessa Trump’s mother, although she had not complained of symptoms, the police spokesman said. The package had a Boston postmark, ABC News and the New York Post reported, citing unnamed law enforcement sources. NYPD officials declined to comment on that detail…
The U.S. Secret Service, which is charged with protecting members of the president’s family, has joined the investigation, said spokesman Jeffrey Adams. White House officials had no immediate comment.”
