A package of horse manure — and a Christmas card with a negative reference to the $1.5 trillion tax overhaul — was addressed to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and dropped off at his next-door neighbor in a wealthy Los Angeles neighborhood, an NBC news affiliate reported.
The wrapped package was reported Saturday night, with both Los Angeles police and the Secret Service responding, affiliate KNBC reported.
Mnuchin was at his home at the time of the incident and "was made aware of the situation," but wasn’t in danger and didn’t have to leave his home during the investigation, LAPD West Los Angeles Area Watch Commander Rob Weise told the outlet.
A Christmas card was inside the wrapped package, referencing Mnuchin and President Donald Trump, KNBC reported, citing unnamed sources. And though the card didn’t contain a threat, there was “some kind of negative reference” to the sweeping new tax code overhaul, the affiliate reported.
