A “suspicious package” initially believed to be anthrax was delivered to the floor of California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office in the Capitol Annex Swing Space space on May 16, according to internal memos sent to those in the building.

The package was delivered to the 9th floor of the building—located in downtown Sacramento—according to a memo sent to Assembly members and State Senators and shared on the social media platform X.
