A Massachusetts man was arrested on Thursday after a letter with white powder was sent to Donald Trump Jr.'s New York City apartment earlier this month, federal authorities said.
Daniel Frisiello, of Beverly, was arrested and is expected to appear in federal court in Worcester later in the day.
Frisiello is accused of sending five letters filled with white powder to Trump Jr. and several other people, including the office of Sen. Debbie Stabenow, of Michigan.
Trump Jr.'s wife, Vanessa, opened the letter in the couple's Manhattan apartment on Feb. 12 and reported feeling nauseous and coughing. She and two other people were taken to the hospital in the incident.
The powder was determined to be cornstarch.
Authorities later revealed the letter included a threatening note that read: "You are an awful, awful person. I am surprised that your father lets you speak on TV. You the family idiot. Eric looks smart."
"This is the reason why people hate you. You are getting what you deserve. So shut the f--- up," the letter continued.
