An envelope containing a white
powdery substance was sent to one of
White House hopeful Hillary Clinton’s
campaign offices in New York, though
police initially ruled out any danger.
The envelope was first delivered to
Clinton’s offices in Manhattan, where
campaign workers then transferred it
to her Brooklyn headquarters, New
York Police Department Lieutenant
Thomas Antonetti told AFP.
“The preliminary investigation
determined that it was negative in
terms of containing a hazardous
substance,” he added, noting the
Department of Health was conducting
further evaluation to determine the
nature of the substance.
Antonetti said the envelope also
contained writing, but no death
threats.
“We’re trying to determine what the
substance was. For right now, we can
at least rule out any poisonous or
deadly nature of the substance,”
Antonetti said.
