Authorities arrest suspect in pipe bomb case

Federal authorities arrested a man in Florida this morning in connection with a series of explosive devices sent by mail this week to high-profile critics of President Trump.

A law enforcement official identified the suspect as Cesar Sayoc Jr., 56, of Aventura, Fla. Mr. Sayoc, a registered Republican, has a lengthy criminal history that includes being accused of threatening to use a bomb, public records show.

Speaking at the White House, Mr. Trump praised law enforcement officials for quickly arresting a suspect.

The arrest was announced hours after the authorities said they had discovered two more pipe bombs, one addressed to Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and the other to James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, law enforcement officials said today.
