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.
