PHOENIX (AP) — Authorities are investigating an envelope that reportedly contained suspicious white powder that was opened at the Phoenix campaign headquarters of Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake. Phoenix fire and police officials said they were called to the building around 2 am and there were no reports of injuries or illness. It’s still unclear what was in the envelope. Lake’s campaign says the staff member who opened the envelope was under medical supervision. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs said in a statement that the incident “is incredibly concerning” and she was thankful Lake and her staff weren’t harmed.
