The FBI swooped on Republican Arizona Governor candidate Kari Lake's campaign offices on Saturday night after staff received suspicious white power, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Law enforcement was at the offices in Phoenix from 10pm to 5am after Lake's team was sent two envelopes with the substance and abusive messages.

Her campaign believes this was a 'terroristic attack, trying to intimidate Kari and the campaign staff'.

A source familiar with the campaign told DailyMail.com: 'Yesterday, one of Kari's staffers opened up an envelope that had a suspicious white powder in it and had a letter in there with a bunch of vulgarities and ranting and raving about Kari.

'The employee then noticed second package that was exactly like the first one she had opened and she reported it.'
