Federal authorities are investigating letters containing a white powder that were mailed to addresses across the country, including congressional and election offices.
The FBI, U.S. Capitol Police and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are working the case together. Investigators believe more than 100 of the letters may be in circulation.
Last week, postal inspectors intercepted a suspicious letter addressed to the Pennsylvania Department of State. Election offices in at least 15 states have reported suspicious letters.
