Man charged with mailing hundreds of letters containing powder to officials ahead of the election
Authorities say hundreds of letters sent to public officials contained yeast or flour, and Robin Martin faces hoax and threatening-communications charges.
- Federal authorities charged Oklahoma resident Robin Martin on Tuesday with sending hundreds of letters containing nonhazardous white powder to public officials ahead of the 2024 and 2026 elections.
- Last month, federal authorities announced they were investigating letters containing "suspicious substances" mailed to congressional and election offices nationwide, urging recipients to treat the mailings as potentially hazardous.
- The FBI confirmed in a Tuesday court filing that tested samples contained yeast or flour, though not all hundreds of letters have been fully tested by investigators.
- Martin was expected to make his initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon in Oklahoma City, facing federal charges of conveying a hoax and mailing threatening communications.
- The Senate Sergeant at Arms confirmed law enforcement worked to intercept additional letters, though officials warned some mail could still reach intended destinations despite ongoing efforts.
