(NewsNation) — An envelope with white powder was found in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office building, police said Friday.

Officials are now investigating.


The powder, the New York Post reported, was in an envelope marked “Alvin” and delivered by USPS to the mailroom.

No injuries were reported, according to the newspaper.

“The NYPD Emergency Service Unit and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection determined there was no dangerous substance,” a statement from the DA’s office said.

This incident happened as a New York grand jury looks into former President Donald Trump’s alleged hush-money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump said last week with no proof that he would be arrested on Tuesday in connection to this case, though he still has not been indicted as of Friday.
