FBI Called To GOP Candidate Kari Lake's Campaign Office After Staffer Receives Envelopes With 'White Powder' & 'Threatening Messages'

“The employee then noticed [a] second package that was exactly like the first one she had opened and she reported it,” the insider added.

Following the report to the FBI, both a hazmat team and a bomb squad were called to the office building. The authorities remained at the location until approximately 5 AM Sunday morning, at which point the contents of the two envelopes were taken away by the bureau for further analysis.

“Officers responded to a found property call at an office building near 40th Street and Camelback Road,” Phoenix Police Department Sergeant Phil Krynsky said. “When officers arrived they learned there were suspicious items located inside the mail.”

“Additional resources responded to collect the items and secure the area,” Sergeant Krynsky added. “There have been no reports of injury and the investigation remains active.”

The alleged “attack” on Lake’s campaign office over the weekend came just days after Phoenix police responded to a call at the campaign office of Lake’s rival, Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs, over reports of a break-in.

Although Hobbs initially suggested the break-in was a result of Lake’s harsh rhetoric against the rival campaign, the suspect was later identified as 36-year-old illegal immigrant Daniel Mota Dos.
