A suspicious package containing white powder delivered to Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) home is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Capitol Hill police.

The person who sent the package is unknown.
Paul released a statement responding to the matter, “I take these threats immensely seriously. As a repeated target of violence, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to encourage violence against me and my family.”
He added, “Just this weekend Richard Marx called for violence against me and now we receive this powder filled letter.”
Richard Marx, a singer and songwriter, tweeted on Sunday, “I’ll say it again: If I ever meet Rand Paul’s neighbor I’m going to hug him and buy him as many drinks as he can consume.”
