RICIN IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN SENT TO WHITE HOUSE

Letters with the lethal substance were also sent to local law enforcement
offices in Texas, an official said. Investigators are trying to find out who
sent them and whether more were circulating through the postal system.

Sept. 19, 2020

WASHINGTON — Letters sent in recent days to the White House and to local law
enforcement agencies in Texas contained the lethal substance ricin, and
investigators are trying to determine whether other envelopes with the toxin
were sent through the postal system, a law enforcement official briefed on the
matter said on Saturday.

Investigators believe that the letters were sent from Canada and have identified
a woman as a suspect, the official said.


Correction: Sept. 19, 2020

Because of incorrect information supplied by a person familiar with the matter,
an earlier version of this article misidentified the agencies in Texas. They are
local agencies, not federal agencies.


Katie Benner covers the Justice Department. She was part of a team that won a
Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for public service for reporting on workplace sexual
harassment issues. @ktbenner
