Just a week after former California Rep. Katie Hill resigned amid her snowballing “throuple” scandal, a suspicious envelope appeared at her office containing a suspicious white powder that was eventually deemed harmless, according to a new report.

A hazmat team from the Los Angeles County Fire Department, as well as sheriff’s deputies, responded to Hill’s former office in Palmdale just after noon Monday, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Firefighters were alerted to an envelope containing an unidentified powder, and two people complaining of irritation, fire department spokesman Tony Atkins told the paper.

An initial test showed negative results for harmful substances, and a second, more extensive exam that used chemical weapons testing equipment also revealed nothing hazardous, according to the report.

The small amount of powder was likely designed to scare people into believing it was anthrax — and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is conducting a criminal investigation, according to the report.

Hill, who represented the state’s 25th district, resigned last week amid an ethics investigation into an alleged relationship with a male congressional aide, Graham Kelly.

She has denied having an affair with him, but fessed up to carrying on a long-term “throuple” with 24-year-old female staffer Morgan Desjardins and her estranged husband Kenny Heslep.

That polyamorous threesome began in late 2017 and endured for more than a year.

She blamed her decision to resign on Heslep, and “hateful” political operatives who she claims launched a “smear campaign.”

Hill said that she was a victim of revenge porn after compromising photos surfaced of her in the explosive sex scandal.
