A coordinated campaign of suspicious mailings containing white powdery substances has triggered evacuations and federal investigations across multiple U.S. states. While preliminary tests suggest the substances are harmless, the FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are working to identify the sender(s) behind the nationwide threat.
Federal authorities are investigating a series of suspicious mailings sent to congressional offices and state election agencies in the weeks leading up to the November 3 midterm elections. The packages, which contained unknown substances, were delivered to the offices of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other lawmakers, as well as secretaries of state in Ohio, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. While no injuries or harmful substances have been confirmed, the incidents have prompted security alerts and evacuations. The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are working to identify the sender and intercept further mailings.
