The United States Capitol Police are investigating suspicious letters sent Monday to the district offices of three Republican congressmen from Kentucky

The letters were sent to the offices of Reps. Ed Whitfield of the 1st District, Brett Guthrie of the 2nd District and Geoff Davis of the 4th District.

At least two of the letters claimed — falsely — to contain anthrax, spokesmen for the congressmen said.

Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider confirmed that her agency was conducting an investigation but declined to offer details.
