WICHITA, Kan. (AP) The FBI is investigating a suspicious letter sent to the downtown Wichita office of Sen. Pat Roberts, one of several congressional offices around the country receiving similar letters in recent days.
KWCH-TV reports the letter containing a white, powdery substance arrived at the office Thursday. Traffic was restricted in the area while police and hazardous materials crews investigated.
The FBI says no hazardous material has been found so far in similar letters sent to district offices of members of Congress around the country.
Roberts’ communications director, Sarah Little, says the Kansas Republican was in Topeka on Thursday, and two staff members were in the Wichita office. Little says the office will reopen Friday.
