Federal authorities are trying to determine who has been anonymously ordering pizzas that are sent to the homes of U.S. lawmakers across the country and to the homes of those who help protect those lawmakers.
The mysterious deliveries have authorities worried that they could be intended to send a menacing message, according to congressional sources and others familiar with the matter.
Both Democrats and Republicans in the House have received the unsolicited pizza deliveries, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office. Pizzas also were sent to current and former leadership of the U.S. Capitol Police, sources said.
“These recent pizza deliveries are troubling and yet again, bring to light the heightened threat landscape we are living in,” the Capitol Police said in a statement to ABC News. “Violence and threats, of any kind, targeted at elected officials will not be tolerated.”
The Capitol Police said they are “working with our federal, state, and local partners to address the matter.”
