Republican Lawmakers in Tennessee Receive Threatening Letters Containing White Powder
- A legislative office building in Nashville was temporarily locked down after Republican leaders received letters containing an unknown white powder substance.
- The FBI is investigating the incident and hazmat teams assessed the situation.
- The letters contained threats targeting Republicans and were allegedly sent by a liberal activist.
- The building houses lawmakers, staffers, and committee rooms, and the state legislature was preparing to meet in special session.
- Similar letters were recently sent to Republican officials in Kansas, leading some to speculate the mailings were politically motivated.
