Manhattan DA receives new suspicious white powder envelope: Police sources

The NYPD responded to a new threatening letter sent to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, according to police sources.

The New York City Police Department responded to a new threatening letter sent to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Wednesday, according to police sources.

The sources told ABC News the letter contained a white powder and was discovered just after 3 p.m. in the basement mailroom at 80 Centre Street. The DA's office later said the NYPD determined the powder was nonhazardous.

"We thank our partners at the NYPD Emergency Service Unit and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection for their quick response,” a spokesperson for Bragg said.

There were no reports of injuries or sickness.

This is at least the second time Bragg has received a letter containing a suspicious white powder since former President Donald Trump started writing on social media about his impending indictment.

Bragg has been receiving additional security protection.

His lawsuit against House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said the office has received more than a thousand threatening or harassing calls and emails. Bragg himself has received “multiple” death threats since Trump’s indictment, police sources told ABC News.

X reacts as Man Utd slump to new low in Bournemouth drubbing

Just when you start to think that maybe Manchester United have got their house in order, they go and do something unprecedented even by their own clownish standards. Their 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth on Saturday was their first loss by such a margin against a team that started the day in the bottom half of the table. This was also the Cherries' first ever win at Old Trafford. Well, you can't say that Erik ten Hag - Friday's recipient of the Premier League Manager of the Month award for November - isn't making History with the Red Devils. After beating Chelsea 2-1 in midweek, hopes were high for United to kick on and further improve. That sense of optimism around Old Trafford drifted away just five minutes into the Game when Bournemouth went in front. Bruno Fernandes saw his terrible ball from the back cut out by Lewis Cook, and he crossed for Dominic Solanke to divert in.
