NBC News: Vanessa Trump taken to hospital as precaution after white powder sent to her home

President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law was taken to a Manhattan hospital as a precaution on Monday after a suspicious letter containing an unidentified white powder was sent to her apartment, senior law enforcement and city officials told NBC News.

The letter was addressed to Vanessa Trump's husband, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest child of the president and his ex-wife Ivana.

After the letter was opened, three people at the residence were taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center strictly as a precaution, the New York City Fire Department said.

There is no indication anyone suffered any injuries; the NYPD said the substance was deemed to be non-hazardous and was taken to a lab for further analysis.

WNU Editor: A 36 year old having this type of influence and trust from the U.S. President .... with no government experience and with no diplomatic experience .... and in this type of position .... I do not feel comfortable. US Secretary of State Tillerson is the person who should be on this trip .... not the President's son-in-law.

As expected .... the knives are out .... 'I worked for Jared Kushner and he is not the right man for his senior White House job' (Elizabeth Spiers , The Independent)

The Media Goes After Ivanka Trump And Her Husband Jared Kushner

Washington Post: Ivanka Trump’s Secret Service detail roiling her D.C. neighbors

Ivanka Trump’s neighbors delivered a handwritten note welcoming her to their gilded Northwest Washington Zip code after she and her husband, Jared Kushner, moved from New York with their three young children.

When the president’s daughter did not respond, Rhona Friedman, a lawyer who lives next door, understood.

Ivanka was busy settling in, she figured.

But Friedman and other neighbors were far less patient when two “No Parking” signs appeared outside the Trump-Kushner house and Secret Service SUVs began swallowing spots on Tracy Place NW, their block in the Kalorama neighborhood.

Their exasperation peaked Monday when city workers installed two additional “No Parking” signs — not in front of Trump’s house, but outside Friedman’s residence next door.

“I started screaming,” Friedman said.

How President-Elect Trump's Son-In-Law Helped Him Win The White House

Mike Segar/Reuters

Steven Bertoni, Forbes: Exclusive Interview: How Jared Kushner Won Trump The White House

It’s been one week since Donald Trump pulled off the biggest upset in modern political history, and his headquarters at Trump Tower in New York City is a 58-story, onyx-glassed lightning rod. Barricades, TV trucks and protesters frame a fortified Fifth Avenue. Armies of journalists and selfie-seeking tourists stalk Trump Tower’s pink marble lobby, hoping to snap the next political power player who steps into view. Twenty-six floors up, in the same building where washed-up celebrities once battled for Trump’s blessing on The Apprentice, the president-elect is choosing his Cabinet, and this contest contains all the twists and turns of his old reality show.

Winners will emerge shortly. But today’s focus is on the biggest loser: New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who has just been fired from his role leading the transition, along with most of the people associated with him. The episode is being characterized as a “knife fight” that ends in a “Stalinesque purge.”

Update: Kushner speaks out to take credit for Donald's win - how he ran the Trump campaign like a tiny startup and used his Silicon Valley connections to target voters - while insisting he didn't push out Christie (Daily Mail)

WNU Editor: Many people have emailed me to make a comment on this Forbes story. What can I say .... it is a must read. It gives an insight on how to run a campaign when the entire media complex is against you, the pundit class is against you, your opponent has many times more money than you do, and .... more importantly .... the entire political establishment is against you. And while Jared Kushner was not the only person who helped President-elect Trump win the Presidency .... he has certainly played an influential role. On a side note ....Jared Kushner is Jewish, and his wife Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism when she married him .... which means that Donald's daughter and grand-kids are Jewish. So much for the media narrative that Donald Trump is anti-Semitic.
