What happened
Robin Patrick Martin has been charged with conveying false information, hoaxes and mailing threatening communications after suspicious white substances and three-page "DECLARATION OF WAR" letters were sent to election officials from September 2024 onwards. Officials in nearly every state received similar mailings. Investigators tied the case to a burner phone bought at a Walmart in Oklahoma City, and the FBI and Department of Justice had not announced the charges as of the reporting time.
