TRUMP FAMILY: “A Massachusetts man has agreed to plead guilty to charges he mailed threatening letters containing a suspicious powder to several prominent people, including U.S. President Donald Trump’s sons, federal prosecutors in Boston said on Friday [9-7-18]. Daniel Frisiello, 25, could face seven years in prison for sending the letters, including one sent to Donald Trump Jr.’s Manhattan home that warned ‘you are getting what you deserve,’ which caused Trump Jr.’s wife, Vanessa, to be taken to the hospital after opening it. U.S. authorities have been on alert for mail containing white powder since 2001, when envelopes laced with anthrax were sent to media outlets and U.S. lawmakers, killing five people. Investigators determined that the powder sent to Trump’s eldest son’s home, as well as that in letters sent to prominent Republicans, Democrats and others across the United States, was harmless. Prosecutors on Friday said they had connected Frisiello to another letter containing white powder that was sent to the president’s son Eric Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.”
