On Wednesday, an envelope containing white powder was found and was addressed to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
According to the NYPD, the white powder envelope was “discovered inside the location” at around noon.
According to court officials, the package was brought to a mailroom at 80 Centre Street, the state office building where a grand jury is now considering evidence against former President Donald Trump.
A representative for Bragg’s office said, “The DA has notified the office that it was immediately controlled and that the NYPD Emergency Response Unit and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection
According to a report from NBC News, the letter was addressed to ‘Alvin’ and contained a note with the message reading: ‘ALVIN: I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
The same sources said that the envelope was mailed from Orlando, Florida and postmarked on Tuesday – the same day Trump incorrectly predicted he would be arrested.
The district attorney is currently investigating former president Trump for his role in a $130,000 payment in to porn star Stormy Daniels.
The cash was allegedly sent to the adult film actress by the ex-president’s attorney Michael Cohen in 2016 as a hush money to buy her silence about an affair with Trump in 2006.
Hours before the threat, former president posted a message on his Truth Social platform that warned of ‘death & destruction’ if he faced criminal charges.
In the post, Trump called the prosecutor ‘a degenerate psychopath that truely [sic] hates the USA!’
In another early-morning post which has since been deleted, the former president posted a selfie holding a baseball bat next to a photo of DA Bragg.
