 President Donald Trump is confirming that a suspect in the mail bomb scare is in custody and says he will be prosecuted "to the fullest extent of the law." Trump, in his first remarks since Cesar Sayoc, 56, was apprehended in Florida, declared that "we must never allow political violence take root in America." Trump declared that "these terrorizing acts are despicable" and said Americans "must unify." Law enforcement officials have not said whether the van in question was connected to the person taken into custody in Florida in connection with the mail bombs sent to prominent critics of President Donald Trump. Trump, speaking at the 2018 Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House, called the sending of the bombs a “despicable” act that has “no place in our country” and vowed that “swift and certain justice” would be delivered. In tweets earlier in the day, Trump appeared to suggestthat the timing of the "bomb stuff" was disrupting Republican momentum ahead of the midterm elections. The package mailed to Clapper was addressed to CNN's New York offices, according to a picture obtained by NBC New York, and was discovered at a postal facility in midtown Manhattan. In another tweet Friday, he criticized CNN "and others" for allegedly "blaming" him for the wave of suspicious packages discovered in recent days. Two more packages containing explosive devices were discovered Friday, one in Florida addressed to Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and another in New York addressed to former U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, officials said. Sayoc is expected to be charged Friday in connection with packages received or intercepted that contained pipe bombs that were addressed to former Vice President Joe Biden, actor Robert De Niro, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., former Attorney General Eric Holder, former CIA Director John Brennan, former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. I am committed to do everything in my power as president to stop it and stop it now,” he said.
– President Trump on Friday praised the quick arrest of a suspect in the mail bomb case and promised that "swift and certain justice" would follow. "These terrorizing acts are despicable and have no place in our country," Trump said. Speaking soon after authorities announced the arrest of Florida man accused of mailing explosive devices to prominent Democrats, Trump declared that "we must never allow political violence to take root in America," reports NBC News. "We cannot let it happen. I am committed to do everything in my power as president to stop it and stop it now." Americans, he said, "must unify." As the AP notes, the president's remarks came after he tweeted a complaint about how the media's focus on the incidents were distracting from what he sees as a Republican upswing ahead of the midterms. "Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this 'Bomb' stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows — news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!"
