Security threat prompts shutdown of Kari Lake campaign headquarters in Phoenix

(Reuters) - The delivery of an envelope containing a suspicious white powder prompted the Arizona gubernatorial campaign of Republican nominee Kari Lake to shut down its Phoenix headquarters two days before the election, the campaign said in a statement on Sunday.

The envelope in question, opened by a member of Lake's staff, was one of two confiscated by law enforcement for analysis in Quantico, Virginia, site of an FBI forensics laboratory, after the incident was reported, according to the statement.

The staff member "is currently under medical supervision," the statement said, adding that the campaign was awaiting results of the analysis.

The Phoenix Police Department said in a separate statement that no one was reported injured, and that an investigation of "suspicious items located inside the mail" was continuing.

I don't care who you are or what you believe in, that kind of thing has no business in US politics.

I hope the staff member will be okay.
