FBI Investigates Threatening Letter to Utah Lt. Gov.

The FBI intercepted a threatening letter containing white powder addressed to Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, signed by a group calling itself the 'United States Traitor Elimination Army.' This incident is part of a disturbing trend of threats against election officials, with over 20 states, including Utah, targeted in recent weeks. Lt. Gov. Henderson condemned the intimidation tactics, expressing gratitude for law enforcement's swift action and support for election workers. The substance in the letter is currently being tested by authorities. Utah Democratic Party Chair Diane Lewis also criticized the rising culture of political intimidation and called for bipartisan condemnation of such actions. Governor Spencer Cox has voiced concerns over the increase in threats against officials in the state.
