Man who allegedly sent white substance to Congress left his return address, DOJ says
Original: Man who allegedly sent white substance to members of Congress put his address on envelopes: DOJ
Federal authorities say a man accused of mailing envelopes containing a white powder to members of Congress made the unusually simple mistake of putting his own return address on the mailings. The Justice Department disclosed the detail as the case moves forward. The white substance sent to congressional offices prompted security alarms, though details on what it was and whether anyone was harmed remain limited.
Why now: Threatening mailings to members of Congress raise fresh concerns about lawmaker security and the suspect's careless error drew attention.
