House Speaker McCarthy vows to hold Manhattan DA accountable

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said in a tweet that the House GOP will use its power to hold Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg "and his unprecedented abuse of power to account."

"The American people will not tolerate this injustice," McCarthy said, adding that Bragg has "weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump."

DA's office has contacted Trump's attorney 'to coordinate his surrender'

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said in a statement that it has contacted former President Donald Trump's attorney "to coordinate his surrender" for arraignment on a state Supreme Court indictment, noting that it remains under seal.

NYPD officers to deploy across city on Friday

Letter threatening to kill 'Alvin' found at Manhattan DA's office: Sources

A white powder was discovered in the mailroom at 80 Centre Street, where the Manhattan District Attorney has offices and where a grand jury has been meeting to hear evidence in former President Donald Trump's case, according to a court official. The powder was determined to be non-hazardous, officials said.

The powder came in an envelope addressed to "Alvin," an apparent reference to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, according police sources.

Inside the envelope was a letter containing the typewritten message, “Alvin: I am going to kill you," with 13 exclamation points, according to sources.

This envelope followed a series of unfounded threats that targeted municipal offices in New York this week.

"For three days we got four emails," Susan Stetzer, district manager at Manhattan Community Board 3, told ABC News on Friday.

At least one of the messages prompted the court to pause a hearing in the New York Attorney General’s civil lawsuit against Trump.

None of the email messages mentioned Trump by name. One included what Stetzer described as a "horrible homophobic rant."

According to Stetzer, the messages came from @mail.ru domains and some contained Cyrillic characters. The FBI is aware but does not immediately assess that the emails came from Russia, according to a law enforcement official.

"We did not get one today so I’m hoping it stops," Stetzer said.

New York City courthouses will see increased security, the Office of Court Administration said Friday.
