THE FBI has confirmed no suspicious letter was sent to the Maine Secretary of State’s Office, backtracking on an initial statement about a suspicious piece of mail addressed to Secretary Shenna Bellows.

A suspicious package was sent to the Colorado secretary of state but was intercepted at a mail facility in Denver Tuesday. The package contained a white powder that investigators say was harmless, according to a press release from the secretary’s office.
