Preliminary testing revealed the powder to be harmless. (RELATED: GOP Office Attacked After Biden’s Dark Rhetoric)
Today’s scare coincides with the ongoing appeal of Engoron’s $454 million judgment against Trump in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit.
Should the appeal fail, Trump will owe an additional $112,000 in daily interest until he pays the fine. The interest will accrue even during Trump’s appeal.

Trump asked a mid-level appeals court for a stay early Wednesday — which would pause the ruling being enforced — and said he would put down a $100 million bond as he appeals it, less than a quarter of the amount owed.

“Appellants nonetheless plan to secure and post a bond in the amount of $100 million.”
The Office of the New York State Attorney General opposed the request.
