Two other packages were sent to CNN last week. One arrived at their studios in New York’s Time Warner Center and the other was incepted at a nearby mail facility.
Meanwhile, the man suspected of sending out at least 14 pipe bombs is due in federal court in Miami today.
The Brooklyn-born Cesar Sayoc, 56, is charged with five felony counts – interstate transportation and illegal mailing of explosives, threatening a former president, making threatening interstate communications and assaulting federal officers.
The case is expected to be moved to New York, where he will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York, officials said.
Sayoc has been held without bond since he was taken into custody in South Florida Friday by federal agents after a four-day nationwide manhunt for the person who sent homemade pipe bombs to Trump critics including Obama and former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whom Trump defeated in the 2016 presidential race.
