0:00 / 0:40

An Oklahoma man faces federal charges after allegedly sending more than seven hundred envelopes containing non‑toxic white powder to public officials and media outlets ahead of the twenty‑fourth and twenty‑sixth elections. The envelopes carried messages written in ultraviolet‑reactive ink, invisible to the naked eye, and warned recipients of treason. Authorities say the powder was harmless, but the letters were deemed hoaxes and threatening communications. The FBI affidavit notes the sender referenced the 2020 election and threatened officials with arrest for treason. Surveillance footage shows the man dropping the envelopes at a USPS facility in both twenty‑fourth and twenty‑sixth years, and records indicate he purchased mailing supplies in August of this year.
