Authorities arrest woman suspected of sending Trump letter containing poison (Ricin)

U.S. officials have reportedly arrested a woman suspected of sending a letter containing the poisonous substance ricin to the White House, addressed to President Trump, according to a U.S. law enforcement official.

The official told CNN that the unnamed woman, who was carrying a firearm at the time of her arrest, was detained by authorities at a U.S.-Canada border while attempting to enter the U.S.

FBI officials did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill. The agency said a day earlier that it did not believe a threat to public safety was ongoing. Secret Service officials also did not immediately confirm the woman's arrest.

"[T]he FBI and our U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Postal Inspection Service partners are investigating a suspicious letter received at a U.S. government mail facility. At this time, there is no known threat to public safety," said the FBI.

I was thinking that Ashley Judd has been awfully quiet of late. Maybe she was coming back into the country to protest at McConnell’s house.

Female is no defense. This should keep her off the streets and from wasting her time on her smartphone for at least 40 years, with no parole.
