华盛顿报道——俄克拉荷马州一名男子面临联邦指控，据称他在2024年和2026年两次选举前，向公职人员和媒体机构邮寄了数百封含有白色粉末的信件。
根据周二公开的起诉书，罗宾·帕特里克·马丁据称向全国两党公职人员邮寄了700多个信封。当局表示，信封中的粉末无毒，且信封上用肉眼不易看见的紫外线反应墨水写有文字。
马丁面临两项指控：一项是传播虚假或误导性信息与恶作剧，另一项是邮寄威胁性通信。目前尚不清楚马丁是否已被拘留。
根据联邦调查局的一份宣誓书，马丁“描述了他所认为的2020年选举存在的问题，声称唐纳德·特朗普总统赢得了2020年选举，并对同样的问题可能在即将到来的2024年选举中重演表示担忧”。
部分信件的寄件地址与美国绿党和美国民主社会主义者协会（DSA）的前总部有关联。宣誓书称，民主社会主义者协会已在调查中与联邦调查局展开合作。
在2024年选举前寄给俄克拉荷马州选举委员会的一个信封中，马丁据称写道“站在历史正确的一边，否则你的性命可能不保！”联邦检察官称，通过笔迹分析，该信件的笔迹与新一批信件的笔迹匹配。
根据宣誓书，2026年寄出的信件内容“均与即将到来的2026年全国选举有关”，马丁在文字中据称提及了一个名为“美国叛徒清除军”的组织，威胁收信人将因叛国罪被逮捕“或更糟！！”
联邦调查人员还截获了据称是马丁寄给联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔的一条信息。
监控录像显示，马丁在2024年和2026年两次将信封投放到美国邮政设施中，联邦执法部门分析的记录显示，马丁在今年8月购买了用于邮寄的物品，以及用于在信封上书写的“隐形墨水”原料。
10月，美国邮政督察处副督察长布伦丹·多纳休证实，“可疑邮件”已寄往“全国多个地址”，包括各州务卿办公室和相关选举办公室。
参议院侍卫长也向国会工作人员发布通知，告知他们此次调查情况。全国数十名国会议员和选举官员报告称成为这些邮件的目标。
CBS新闻已联系司法部寻求置评。
Oklahoma man charged with mailing letters with white powder to hundreds of officials

Washington— An Oklahoma man faces federal charges after allegedly sending hundreds of letters containing white powder to public officials and media outlets ahead of both the 2024 and 2026 elections.
According to charging documents unsealed on Tuesday, Robin Patrick Martin allegedly sent more than 700 envelopes to public officials of both parties across the country. Authorities said the powder contained in the envelopes was nontoxic and said the envelopes had messages written in UV-reactive ink, not easily seen by the naked eye.
Martin is charged with one count of conveying false or misleading information and hoaxes and another count of mailing threatening communications. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Martin had been taken into custody.
According to an FBI affidavit, Martin “described perceived issues with the 2020 election, claimed that President Donald Trump won the 2020 election, and voiced concerns regarding some of the same issues recurring in the then-upcoming 2024 election.”
Some of the messages were marked with return addresses related to previous headquarters for the Green Party of the United States and Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA has cooperated with the FBI in its investigation, the affidavit said.
In one envelope addressed to the Oklahoma State Election Board ahead of the 2024 election, Martin allegedly wrote “stay on the right side of history your life might depend on it!” Federal prosecutors allege that the handwriting in that message was matched with the new batch of letters through a handwriting analysis.
According to the affidavit, the content of the letters sent in 2026 “all pertained to the upcoming 2026 national elections” and Martin allegedly referenced an organization known as the United States Traitor Elimination Army in his writings, threatening the recipients with being arrested for treason “OR WORSE!!”
Federal investigators also intercepted a message allegedly from Martin to FBI Director Kash Patel.
Surveillance footage allegedly showed Martin dropping off the envelopes at a USPS facility in both 2024 and 2026, and records analyzed by federal law enforcement allegedly show Martin purchased items used for the mailing in August of this year, as well as the ingredients for the “invisible ink” that was used to write on the envelopes.
In October, Brendan Donahue, the deputy chief inspector at the U.S. Postal Inspection Service,confirmed that “suspicious mailings” were sent to “various addresses nationwide,” including secretary of state offices and related election offices.
The Senate sergeant at arms also issued a notice to congressional staff informing them of the investigation. Dozens of members of Congress and election officials across the country reported being targeted by the mailings.
