“She is grateful for the efforts of the US Capitol police, the San Francisco police department and other law enforcement agencies to thoroughly investigate this series of intimidation across America.” More than 100 letters thought to contain white powder were reportedly thought to be circulating in the US mail system.

The FBI declined to confirm “specific instances or letters”, but said in a statement earlier this week: “The FBI and US Postal Inspection Service are investigating a series of suspicious mailings sent to various addresses nationwide, including secretary of state offices and their related election offices, and congressional offices.”
