BREAKING: Tennessee Republican Lawmakers Receive Threatening Letters From ‘Liberal Activist’ Containing White Powder, Prompting Lockdown
Several of Tennessee’s Republican lawmakers received letters with “an unknown white powder” on Thursday, prompting a lockdown of the sixth-floor legislative offices of the Cordell Hull Building in Nashville.
Tennessee House Republican Caucus spokesperson Jennifer Easton said that the letters “contained obvious threats made by a liberal activist specifically targeting Republicans.”
Nearly 100 of these letters were also sent to Donald Trump and several Republican lawmakers in Kansas last week.
The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Tennessee Highway Patrol’s Nashville District all have teams on the ground to investigate the situation in Nashville.
Our personnel responded to a suspicious letter call at the Cordell Hull Building. They donned protective suits and air tanks to test the substance.
