LEGAL/TERRORISM/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP FAMILY: “A Massachusetts man was sentenced on Friday [4-19-19] to five years of probation after admitting he mailed threatening letters filled with a suspicious white powder to several prominent people, including U.S. President Donald Trump’s sons. Federal prosecutors in Boston had sought three years in prison for Daniel Frisiello, 25, of Beverly, Massachusetts, whose hoax letters included one in February 2018 addressed to Donald Trump Jr. Trump’s then-wife, Vanessa, opened the letter and was taken to the hospital. Investigators later determined the powder sent to Trump’s eldest son’s home was harmless, as was the substance contained in an earlier letter Frisiello sent during the 2016 presidential campaign to the Republican president’s son Eric Trump. U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel Gorton in Boston sentenced Frisiello to five years of probation, with one year to be served in home detention with location monitoring, and restitution.”
