BREAKING: Arizona gubernatorial candidate KariLake's campaign headquarters received two envelopes with a 'suspicious white powder,' prompting a massive police response
Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's campaign headquarters received two envelopes with a"suspicious white powder," prompting a massive police response late Saturday and a shutdown of the Republican's base of operations just before Election Day.
The FBI and Phoenix police, hazmat and bomb squat units, and other first responders arrived at the headquarters to investigate in a response that lasted from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Lake was at an event on Saturday night and is not believed to have come into contact with the substance, Hillyard noted.“Yesterday, a member of the Kari Lake staff opened an envelope delivered to our campaign office that contained suspicious white powder," the Lake campaign said in a statement reported by CNN.
Lake, a Trump-backed Republican, is running against Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. Though giving a defiant message, the Lake campaign was careful not to cast blame, a contrast to when Hobbs and Democrats blasted the Lake campaign after someone burglarized the Democrat's headquarters, only to find out soon afterward that the alleged homeless thief was unrelated to Lake's campaign.
