BREAKING: Envelopes filled with a “white powdery substance” were found at Kari Lake’s campaign office. FBI, Phoenix PD and Hazmat teams are on the ground.

Here are the details known so far from Daily Mail:
- FBI and police were at the Lake offices from 10pm Saturday to 5am on Sunday
- A staffer received two envelopes containing a suspicious white powder
- There were also threatening messages the campaign considers an ‘attack’
- A hazmat team and bomb squad also responded to the scene in Phoenix
- Lake is in a tight race in Arizona with her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs
- Last week Hobbs suggested Lake was partly to blame for a break-in at her campaign headquarters
The incident appears to have taken place Friday night or early Saturday morning but information has been slow in coming out.
Some people on the left want Kari Lake dead. Vote and make her Governor.
