Police Respond After Kari Lake’s Phoenix Office Receives Suspicious Package
Phoenix police and the FBI responded to Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s campaign office on Saturday night, after they received a call over a suspicious package, a campaign spokesperson told The Daily Beast.
“A member of the Kari Lake staff opened an envelope delivered to our campaign office that contained suspicious white powder. It was one of two envelopes that were confiscated by law enforcement and sent to professionals at Quantico for examination, and we are awaiting details,” spokesman Colton Duncan said in a statement. “Just two days before Election Day, our campaign headquarters remains shut down.”
Officers first responded to the area at 10:15 p.m., a police spokesman said, and left at 5 a.m. The campaign said that, in addition to Phoenix police, the FBI, a hazmat team, and a bomb squad responded arrived at the scene.
