After spending weeks using what many call violent and inflammatory rhetoric on the campaign trail, this morning, donald trump finds his own family is now the target of threats. A threatening letter containing a suspicious white powder was sent to the manhattan home of eric trump, one of the candidates sons. Fbi, secret service and nypd are all investigating. Eric trumps wife opened the letter at their home in the trump parc East Building south of central park and that is where don dahler is right now. Don, good morning. The letter arrived here at eric trumps luxury apartment in manhattan. Last night, thursday night, the police swarmed this area after laura trump opened an envelope and noticed it contained white poued powder. It is not hazardous. The letter contained an explicit threat saying if donald trump does not withdrawal from the president ial election, his campaign stopped, that his family would be harmed. 32yearold eric trump is Donald Trumps second oldest son. He has been a fixture on the campaign trail and often appearing behind his father at events. Incidentally is not the first threat to trump this week. Earlier this week the hacker group known as anonymous issued a threat saying they are going to declare total war fare against trump towards statements he has made about banning and they say they will launch a cyberattack on his online entities on april 1st which, of course is april fools day. Ted cruzs president ial campaign is getting support. Lindsey graham and marco rubio praised cruz on thursday and were afraid of what donald trump candidacy could do to their party. Major garrett is in washington to look at this. Good morning, major. Reporter good morning. Ad hoc and so far aimless to stop donald trump efforts continues and another one in Downtown Washington and another in palm beach, florida with the biggest republican donors. So far all more talk than action. In this vacuum, ted cruz has emerged as the least likely establishment favorite to topple trump. Clearly, teds positions on issues are conservative. Reporter returning subdued and defeated to capitol hill bid, marco rubio did not endorse ted cruz but said he is the only alternative. Hopefully, there is time to prevent a trump nomination which i think would fracture the party. Reporter senator Lindsey Graham agreed intensifying his criticism of donald trump. I dont think his campaign is race phobia and bigotry and i think a disaster for our party. Reporter graham offered cruz a halting endorsement. Im dong doing a fundraiser for ted cruz. Reporter trump aspired reversal from just three weeks ago. If you kill ted cruz on the floor of the senate and the trial is in the senate, nobody can convict you. Reporter john kasich, the last man standing between a trump versus cruz primary attacked trumps comments that riots could break out at a contested convention. President of the United States, to say, to even imply that there could be violence if he doesnt get his way. The primaries head west to utah and arizona where cruz is rolling out new ads he hopes will rally antitrump voters. Ted has kept those promises with that trust that he has earned. We need to unite behind ted cruz. Reporter the voice in that ad is mike lee, an ally of cruz and both lee and cruz have operated outside of the gop establishment in washington. Now they are pulling it in to their antitrump world. Major, thank you. President obama is not endorsing a candidate yet but this morning he appears to favor Hillary Clinton. The New York Times reports the president told democratic donors at a private fundraiser in texas, quote, that senator Bernie Sanders of vermont was nearing the point of which at which his campaign against Hillary Clinton would end and that the party must soon come together to back her. Sanders responded to those we have received more votes from people under 30 than secretary clinton and donald trump combined. Many states were winning the votes of people under 45. That is the future of america and that is the future of the Democratic Party, so to suggest we dont fight this out to the end would be, i think, a very bad mistake. The white house said the president s comments were meant to stress that success in november will depend on the ability of the Democratic Party to come together behind the nominee and he did not indicate or specify a preference in the race. The vermont senator is also offering a critique of the president S Supreme Court pick. Sanders says he strongly supports a nomination of Merrick Garland but if he wins the election in november he said he would ask the president to withdraw the name. He wants a more progressive justice. This morning, republicans remain yuted united in their refusal to consider garland. Jan crawford is on capitol hill. Jan, good morning. Reporter good morning. But there is no evidence that garland would be anything other than a liberal justice, and as he started his visits here on capitol hill, other democrats gave him a warm welcome. Garlands first meetings were friendly. Starting with a top democrat on the Judiciary Committee who stepped up the pressure on republicans. I think they owe it to their constituents and to the country and more importantly to the constitution. Most republican doors are closed. Although Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley left open a crack. Its a case of an hour meeting with judge garland. You know, its pretty hard to say no, to that. If i can meet with a dictator in uganda, i can surely meet with a decent person in america. Action is to avoid the political theater. The American People deserve to be heard in their voice heated. Reporter in a Conference Call with supporters, president obama said that issue was settled. The American People did have a say back in 2012 when they elected me president. The biggest challenge for the white house is going to be keeping the attention of the American People. Reporter former Judiciary Committee chief counsel says to prevail the white house has to keep beating that drum. You have outside personalities as candidates. And there are going to be issues that will be come up, and, you know, i dont think the American People are going to be paying as much attention to the nomination of judge garland. Reporter now, garland also doesnt bring diversity so some groups on the left arent all that fired up. But he would be a solid liberal vote and with his temperament and intellect, perhaps someone who could build consensus on a court of nine. Morning is calling on north korea to calm tensions after a pair of new missile launches. Pentagon confirms pyongyang fired two Ballistic Missiles overnight and that crashed into the sea. The launches comes day after president obama imposed new sanctions on the north. The u. S. Clamped down his punishment for missile and Nuclear Tests earlier this year.

It will be around for a hot second because its going to 60 by the time we get into next week. Get a couple of runs in. Michigan Governor Rick Snyder is back in flint this morning to meet with officials about the citys water crisis. He testified yesterday before a house panel. Some members of congress are calling for snyder and the head of the epa to resign over the lead contamination. Adriana diaz is in washington with the contentious hearing. Reporter good morning. The first time lawmakers got to grill the two high ranking officials involved what has become a fullfledged Health Emergency. Republicans put most of the blame on president obamas epa chief and most democrats zeroed in on the michigan governor.

I should have asked tougher questions and i should have done more reporter at the hearing, Governor Snyder apologized and blame failures on all levels of government. Inefficient, ineffective and unaccountable bureaucrats at the epa allowed this disaster to continue unnelson.

You need to take some responsibility because you screwed up peoples lives reporter Flint Residents traveled by the busload to attend the hearing. I found a flyer in my mailbox saying that pregnant women and people 55 and over should not drink this water. Reporter wakes said she miscarried in 2015 and it was not clear it was linked to the contaminated water. No amount of testify or even apologies can bring my babies back or take the lead out of everyones body someone needs to be held accountable. Reporter in a statement to the detroit news, Governor Snyder said that he voluntarily testified to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again. He says he has no plans to resign. As for epa administrator mccarthy, the white house says it supports her. What a hearing. Thank you. The american who defected from isis in iraq is opening up it involves a woman.
