司法部起诉俄克拉何马男子：被指向全美官员寄出数百封含白色粉末的威胁信
司法部（DOJ）11月3日宣布，俄克拉何马州 Oklahoma City 67岁男子 Robin Patrick Martin 已被起诉，罪名是传递虚假或误导性信息与恶作剧、邮寄威胁性通信。检方指控他向各州选举官员、国会议员、联邦调查局（FBI）及其他对象邮寄了含白色粉末的威胁信。
国家安全助理司法部长 John A. Eisenberg 表示，据指控，Martin 向数百名州与联邦官员寄出装有白色粉末的信件，是蓄意恐吓公职人员；收信人拆信时无从知道粉末是否会致病甚至致命，而这正是其显而易见的意图。他说，这类恐吓在法治国家没有立足之地，国家安全司将全力调查和起诉此类案件。
联邦调查局局长 Kash Patel 表示，FBI 周一清晨采取行动逮捕了 Martin，指控他曾在2024年与2026年选举前后向全国公职人员寄出数百封含可疑白色粉末的信件，收信地点超过100处，包括多个州务卿办公室与选举办公室。Patel 感谢 FBI Oklahoma City 外地办公室、刑事司以及美国邮政检查局（USPIS）、国会警察与 Oklahoma City 警局的合作。
俄克拉何马西区联邦检察官 Robert J. Troester 表示，威胁选举官员、试图恐吓公职人员是严重的联邦犯罪，不会被容忍。FBI Oklahoma City 外地办公室特别探员主管 Doug Goodwater 表示，这些寄往全国各地的含不明粉末信件制造了不必要的恐慌、耗费了公共资源，并企图扰乱美国的民主进程；邮政检查局首席邮政检查员 Gary Barksdale 表示，检查员与合作机构识别出相关邮件，并在多数邮件到达收信人之前将其截获。国会警察局长 Michael Sullivan 表示，其团队与执法伙伴昼夜工作，将被告绳之以法。
根据公开记录，俄克拉何马州选举委员会于2026年10月13日通知 FBI，称收到一封含白色粉末的威胁信。FBI 与邮政检查局自2024年起即在调查寄往多州选举官员的同类信件，并认定这封信属于数百封寄往各州选举委员会、国会议员、选举民调机构、媒体机构等对象的威胁信之一；信中白色粉末后经检测确认无危险。
Martin 已在 Oklahoma City 的联邦地方法官 Shon Erwin 面前首次出庭。此案由 FBI、邮政检查局、国会警察、Oklahoma City 警局与德克萨斯州公共安全厅（含 Texas Rangers）调查，俄克拉何马北区联邦检察官办公室提供协助；案件由俄克拉何马西区联邦检察官办公室与司法部国家安全司反恐科起诉。司法部说明，起诉书仅为指控，被告在法庭上被证明有罪之前推定无罪。

DOJ Charges Oklahoma Man: Allegedly Mailed Hundreds of White-Powder Threat Letters to Officials Nationwide
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on November 3 that Robin Patrick Martin, 67, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has been charged with conveying false or misleading information and hoaxes and mailing threatening communications in connection with threatening letters mailed to state election officials, members of Congress, the FBI and others.
Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said that, as alleged, Martin mailed letters containing white powder to hundreds of state and federal officials in a calculated attempt to terrorize public servants, leaving them to open the letters not knowing whether the powder inside could sicken or even kill them. He said intimidation like this has no place in a nation governed by the rule of law, and that the National Security Division will investigate and prosecute these cases to the fullest extent appropriate.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI conducted an operation early Monday morning and arrested Martin, the subject who allegedly sent hundreds of letters containing suspicious white powder to public officials around the country before both the 2024 and 2026 elections, reaching well over 100 locations including multiple state secretary of state offices and election offices. Patel thanked the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office and the FBI Criminal Division, as well as the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), the U.S. Capitol Police and the Oklahoma City Police Department.
U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester for the Western District of Oklahoma said threatening election officials and attempting to intimidate public servants is a serious federal offense that will not be tolerated. Special Agent in Charge Doug Goodwater of the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office said the letters created unnecessary fear, diverted resources and attempted to disrupt the nation's democratic process. Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale of USPIS said postal inspectors and their partners identified the related mailings and recovered the majority of them before they reached their intended recipients. U.S. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan said his team worked around the clock with law enforcement partners to put the defendant behind bars.
According to public records, on October 13, 2026, the Oklahoma State Election Board notified the FBI that it had received a threatening letter containing white powder. The FBI and USPIS had been investigating similar letters sent to multiple state election officials since 2024 and determined this letter was part of hundreds of threatening letters sent across the country to state election boards, members of Congress, election pollsters, media organizations and others. The white powder was later determined to be non-hazardous.
Martin appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Shon Erwin for his initial appearance in Oklahoma City. The case is being investigated by the FBI, USPIS, the U.S. Capitol Police, the Oklahoma City Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety, including the Texas Rangers, with assistance from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Oklahoma is prosecuting the case with assistance from the National Security Division's Counterterrorism Section. A complaint is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
