On Friday night the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) reported that 30 Kansas legislators were sent envelopes containing white powder.
KBI agents working alongside the FBI, KDHE, OSFM, Kansas National Guard, KHP, and several local police departments, sheriff’s offices, and fire departments have responded after mail was received by legislators and other public officials containing a suspicious white powder.
As of Sunday night approximately 100 envelopes with white powder were sent to Kansas legislators and public officials.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach also received a letter with the white powder.
The media ignored this story over the weekend.
President Trump and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas were also sent envelopes with white powder.
This did not make any headlines. Wonder why?
The AP reported:
About 100 letters containing suspicious white powder have been sent to lawmakers and other public officials across Kansas, officials said.
No injuries have been reported, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. It had counted more than 30 letters as of late Friday afternoon and increased the tally to 100 as of Sunday.
In a Facebook post Sunday, the bureau said preliminary tests on the substance were negative for common dangerous toxins.
In emails sent to legislators and obtained by The Topeka Capital-Journal, Tom Day, director of Legislative Administrative Services, said the Kansas Highway Patrol had informed his office of the letters, which contain a return address of either Kansas City or Topeka.
