Cesar Altier Sayoc was taken into custody on Friday morning in Plantation, Florida in connection with the bombs

A single fingerprint helped the FBI crack the mail bombing spree targeting critics of President Donald Trump and identify a suspect, officials have revealed.

Cesar Altier Sayoc, 56, was taken into custody on Friday morning in Plantation, Florida in connection with the 14 suspicious packages that have been discovered this week.

A business partner of the 'MAGAbomber' who toured with him as a stripper has revealed text messages showing Sayoc had an obsession with politics.

Justin Humberger revealed to DailyMail.com numerous texts from Sayoc filled with political vitriol against the Democrats and conspiracy theories.

The businessman has known Sayoc since 2015 when they toured around the US with a male stripper company.

Sayoc, a former stripper, worked as the road manager, and Humberger as a dancer. This summer the two men started up an agriculture company.

Sayoc was known to have worked as a male stripper himself who was hired to do shows in clubs around the country in the 1990s, the Washington Examiner reported.

'He really couldn't find his niche in life, and I guess he found it now,' Ohio-based event promoter Tony Valentine told the Examiner.

'Back in the '90s, he was running around from Minnesota to the Carolinas to Florida.

'He was like a gypsy.'

Valentine said Sayoc did strip shows after failing to achieve his lifelong dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

'I would hire him to send him to do these shows,' Valentine said.

'He would just go do a strip show and leave. He was a stripper.

'He was dancing for a guy out in Oklahoma too.'

Sayoc held jobs primarily at strip clubs in New York and Florida. He also worked for a time as a deliveryman for Papa John's, according to Vice News.

On his LinkedIn page, he describes himself as a 'promoter, booking agent for live entertainment, owner and choreographer.'

Federal investigators initially tied Sayoc to the bomb spree through a fingerprint on the package addressed to US Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat.

FBI Director Chris Wray said at a press conference on Friday afternoon that investigators subsequently recovered DNA from two other packages, which they linked to a sample taken from Sayoc in a prior arrest.

Sayoc was convicted of a threat to 'throw, place, project or discharge any destructive device' in 2002 in Dade County, Florida, after he threatened to blow up a utility company for shutting off his electricity.

He has other prior convictions on felony charges including grand theft and drug possession with intent to distribute, but has never served prison time.

The packages sent to prominent Democrats this week contained pipe bombs, none of which detonated. Law enforcement sources believe they were where either ineptly constructed or not intended to detonate.

Wray emphasized in a press conference that they were 'not hoax devices' and contained actual explosive material, however.

Business partner Justin Humberger, a former stripper, revealed numerous texts to DailyMail.com exclusively from Cesar Altier Sayoc that were filled with vitriol

Humberger said that Sayoc (above) had been under a lot of pressure, at one point slipping into $10,000 of debt from the failing stripper tour, but never thought he could 'snap'.

Sayoc texted 'Democrats smear campaign backfired' when Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to US Supreme Court

Sayoc is charged with five federal crimes, including interstate transportation of an explosive, illegal mailing of explosives, threats against a former president, threatening interstate communications, and assaulting current and former federal officers.

Sayoc will face the charges in federal court in Manhattan after an initial court appearance in Florida. Five of the improvised devices involved in the case were recovered in the Southern District of New York.

He faces up to 48 years in prison if convicted.

According to Sayoc's Facebook page, he is a Trump fan who posted pictures and videos of himself at one of the President's rallies in October 2016.

Sayoc posted a photograph of himself wearing a MAGA hat in front of the US Capitol in 2017.

He was a registered Republican and his politics appeared to revolve entirely around Trump, with no apparent political registration prior to the 2016 election.

A van believed to be Sayoc's which was impounded in Plantation, the site of his arrest, was covered densely with stickers expressing pro-Trump sentiments and denigrating prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who were among those who had pipe bombs addressed to them this week.

Another sticker proclaimed 'CNN Sucks.' The cable network had two of the suspicious packages addressed to its headquarters in Manhattan.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said at the press conference that Sayoc 'appears to be a partisan' but declined to comment further on a possible motive.

'This is a law and order administration. We will not tolerate such lawlessness, especially political violence,' Sessions said.

Sayoc claims to be Native American and claims to be a member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Other information from his LinkedIn page suggests that Sayoc is Filipino.

The Seminole Tribe denied he had ever been a member.

'There's no record of him being a member of the Tribe,' a spokesperson for the tribe said in a statement to Politico. 'He's not a member of the Seminole Tribe, has never been a member of the Seminole Tribe'

His social media profiles include dubious claims that could not be immediately independently confirmed, including that Sayoc is a promoter for male striptease troupe Chippendales, and that he is enrolled in a veterinary medicine program.

'Career decision of becoming a Horse Doctor was always a love for animals, which were here first and never do anything to anyone. And respect all living things,' Sayoc wrote on the profile in a grammatical style that appears typical for him. 'My family very sound Sayoc name in Medical field.'

A lawyer who previously represented Sayoc said he was obsessed with looking young and asked about having his age changed in court documents.

At the time of his arrest, Sayoc had reportedly been kicked out of his parents' house and was living in the heavily festooned van.

Sayoc lost his home in 2009 when IndyMac moved to foreclose on his south Florida property, according to Florida property and court records.

IndyMac was a California-based bank that failed during the recession and was later purchased by a group of investors that included Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

In a 2012 bankruptcy filing, Sayoc told the court that he lived with his mother and owned no furniture.

FBI agents were seen leaving an Aventura, Florida condo where Sayoc's mother, Madeline Giardello, has been living for decades, according to CBS Miami.

Residents of the building, where Giardello serves as the president of the condo association, said they were shocked to learn of Sayoc's alleged involvement in the sending of parcel bombs.

'She has served the Board of Directors well for the past 18 years and she is a nice woman,' Howard Fendell, a friend of Giardello, said of Sayoc's mother.

'It is amazing how these things just happen. It is crazy and unbelievable. I have not seen her son around her.'

A woman who lives on the 20th floor of the condo said Giardello 'is a nice lady. She is very nice. She is perfect.'

Sayoc was sentenced in August 2002 for threatening to throw a bomb in a conversation with a Florida utility representative, according to Ronald Lowy, a Miami attorney who represented him.

Dade County court records showed Sayoc served a year's probation after a judge signed a discharge certificate in November 2002.

The person who took the photos was not aware of the connection to the investigation, but noted the odd amount of stickers

Lowy told The Associated Press that Sayoc 'made a verbal threat when he was frustrated at a lack of service' from the utility company.

Lowy said Sayoc showed no ability at the time to back up his threat with bomb-making expertise.

The lawyer said Sayoc was a bodybuilder then, and displayed no political leanings except for plastering a vehicle he owned with Native American signs.

Among Sayoc's most serious criminal history includes a 1994 incident in which his grandmother Viola accused him of domestic violence.

She sought a restraining order at the time but a judge then dropped the charges two weeks later for reasons that are unclear.

In a Facebook post a year ago, Sayoc shared a photograph of Governor Rick Scott and Donald Trump, writing: 'The greatest Governor in Country Fla Rick Scott and great friend of We Unconquered Seminole Tribe . Trump Trump Trump'

He shared bodybuilding pictures and appears to have worked in a strip club.

He expressed his dislike of Hillary Clinton and posted stories about incidents of Islamic terrorism.

Trump addressed the arrest in remarks at the White House, saying: 'We must never allow political violence to take root in America.'

He promised 'swift and certain justice' and said the suspect would be prosecuted 'to the fullest extend of the law.'

Sayoc posted many pictures of himself in strip clubs, and may have worked in one. He is seen with an unidentified woman

According to employees at the Ultra Gentleman's Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, Sayoc worked as a disc jockey and floor bouncer at the establishment for two months

A Twitter account that appears to belong to Sayoc includes repeated attacks on billionaire George Soros and praise for Trump and other Republicans.

The tweets accuse Soros of paying off a victim from the Parkland mass shooting and accusing Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, a Democrat, of being a Soros puppet.

The account includes anti-Gillum memes, with one including the caption '$500,000 SOROS PUPPET.' The Oct. 24 posting includes a photo of Soros doctored to look like he's holding a puppet meant to resemble Gillum.

Sayoc was a prolific tweeter who repeatedly sent threats to celebrities and political figures like Joe Biden, Jim Carrey, and Ron Howard.

Rochelle Ritchie, a Former Press Secretary for Congress, spoke on Fox News on October 11 and was harassed by Sayoc online afterwards.

Under the Twitter handle @hardrock2016 he wrote: 'So you like make threats. We Unconquered Seminole Tribe will answer your threats. We have nice silent Air boat ride for u here on our land Everglades Swamp. We will see you 4 sure. Hug your loved ones real close every time you leave home.'

Then he sent photos taken from her social media page and put it alongside horrific images of alligators eating humans.

She reported him to Twitter but they said he didn't violate any rules or exhibit abusive behavior and did not penalize his account.

Corporate records show Sayoc has owned companies called Native American Catering & Vending, as well as Proud Native America One Low Price Drycleaning.

The suspect was arrested in front of an AutoZone store in Plantation, a police source tells DailyMail.com.

Michelle Taylor, a nurse at the Senior Medical Associates clinic across the street from the AutoZone, saw police taking a vehicle believed to be Sayoc's into custody.

'We've been in the office for an hour and we're so nervous,' she said. 'The police were surrounding some kind of a van. Thank god we're done with our patients for the day and there's only two of us in here.'

A witness who works at Marlins Insurance said dozens of police cars descended on the area around State Road 7 and SW 8th Street about 10am, a few feet away from her office.

'It's really bad,' the woman said by telephone. She declined to give her name.

'We heard a loud bang, like a bomb exploding. Police officers who told us to stay inside said they were arrested the guy who's been sending bombs all over the place. It's pretty scary but we're inside trying to get some work done.'

The suspect is reportedly a former resident of New York who is living in Florida.

The mail bombs are all believed to have been handled by a regional mail sorting facility in southern Florida.

Heavy police activity was seen in Plantation, Florida, a town to the west of Fort Lauderdale and directly south of Sunrise, the location of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's office, which the bombs listed as a return address.

Sayoc posted a number of memes to Facebook criticizing Obama and Hillary Clinton, who both had bombs addressed to them

From Obama the Muslim to Hillary the ISIS gun trafficker: Inside the wild conspiracy theories in the 'MAGAbomber's' world Sayoc made a sport of attacking the then-democratic presidential candidate on every issue The man who was arrested in Florida this morning on suspicion of being the so-called MAGAbomber responsible for sending more than a dozen pipe bombs to Democratic leaders and critics of President Donald Trump has been using social media to promote wild conspiracy theories targeting the Clintons, former President Barack Obama and Muslims. A now-deleted Facebook page associated with Cesar Altieri Sayoc Jr, 56, had been dormant from October 13, 2016, when the user shared scores of cellphone videos and photos from a rally for then-presidential candidate Trump and other pro-Republican campaign events. In many of the pictures taken that day, the man accused of mailing explosives to Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, actor and outspoken Trump foe Robert de Niro and CNN , among other high-level targets, is seen sporting a red 'Make America Great Again.' A month before the election, Sayoc shared this item accusing Clinton without any evidence of supply the terrorist group with weapons In the run-up to the 2016 election, Sayoc, who goes by the last name Randazzo on his Facebook page, used the site to disseminate links to Fox News articles and videos lambasting Hillary Clinton and other top Democrats. In between, he also shared videos documenting his intense workouts at the gym and posing up with scantily clad women at a strip club where he apparently worked at one time. On multiple occasions, he shared content claiming without any evidence that Hillary was using a body double on the campaign trail because of her 'declining health.' 'The lord delivering death and America will celebrate,' Sayoc wrote in a status update about the former first lady. 'Clinton uses body double fool Americans into her health declines.' A day before attending the mid-October Trump rally, he shared a story from a right-wing site called WeaselZippers.us accusing President Clinton's former Vice President Al Gore of sexual assault and 'behaving like 'sex-crazed poodle.' His others posts that month included a report about Mrs Clinton's Benghazi emails, a right-wing site's story accusing the democratic candidate of selling weapons to ISIS and several other items warning about a looming ISIS attack on US soil. When taken as a whole, the contents of Sayoc's Facebook account paint a portrait of a man obsessed with the Clintons and espousing virulently anti-Muslim views. One meme he shared that September shows what looks like the mugshots of eight Middle Eastern-looking men, with a caption that reads: 'not all Muslims are terrorists! Some of them are paedophiles and rapists too.' Two days before his arrest, Sayoc in a tweet invoked the name of the billionaire democratic donor George Soros, who was among the first targets of the #MAGAbomber's plot Sayoc tweeted several images and posts propagating this old Clinton conspiracy theory Another meme in the same vain read: 'Islam: contributing not one damn thing to humanity for over 1400 years.' It appears from his posts that Sayoc subscribed to a false narrative promoted by extremists on the right that President Obama himself was secretly Muslim. Commenting on a story about a drug dealer who committed a murder after being released from prison, Sayoc wrote: 'Obama Muslim terrorist blood on his hands needs to be executed.' The 56-year-old Sayoc, a registered Republican with a lengthy criminal record living in Aventura, Florida, also aired some of his radical views on Twitter, which he used for the last time just two days before his arrest to send out memes accusing Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum of corruption. Earlier that day, he invoked the name of the billionaire democratic donor George Soros, who was among the first targets of the #MAGAbomber's plot. Weeks prior, Sayoc tweeted several images and posts propagating an old conspiracy theory claiming that during his time as the governor of Arkansas in the 1980s, Bill Clinton covered up the murders of two teenage boys, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, who had accidentally stumbled upon an alleged drug trafficking scheme run by the CIA out of Mena, Arkansas. 'See Bill,Hil.forget about very close friends of ours Kevin Ives and Don Henry.Bill and Hilary will die had executed MENA, Ark,' Sayoc wrote in a rambling tweet. Sayoc describes himself on one of his Twitter feeds as a former professional soccer player, wrestler and cage fighter. On his LinkedIn profile, Sayoc claims to have attended Brevard College in North Carolina and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and to have studied veterinary medicine. 'Career decision of becoming a Horse Doctor was always a love for animals, which were here first and never do anything to anyone,' his LinkedIn bio says. 'And respect all living things.' Sayoc makes repeated references to the Seminole Indian tribe on his Twitter feed but on his LinkedIn profile he mentions Filipino ancestry, saying his grandfather was a prominent surgeon in the Philippines.

The number of suspicious packages tied to the case rose to 14 on Friday, with the discovery of four new packages.

On Friday afternoon, postal officials in Burlingame, California intercepted a package addressed to billionaire liberal activist Tom Styer.

A package addressed to Democrat Senator Kamala Harris was also intercepted in Sacramento, California.

Earlier in the day, the investigators said they had found two new packages believed to be part of the mail bombing spree, addressed to Senator Cory Booker and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

The package to Booker was found on Thursday night at a mail sorting facility in Florida, and the package addressed to Clapper was found at a postal facility in Manhattan on Friday.

The two new packages marked the 11th and 12th suspected mail bombs in a spree that has targeted critics of Trump.

Trump's first public response to the latest suspicious packages was a tweet at 10.19am reading: '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!'

The package to Clapper was addressed to CNN's headquarters in the Time Warner Center in Midtown Manhattan, but was intercepted before delivery.

A photo of the package showed that it matched notable characteristics of the previous mail bombs, none of which have exploded.

Clapper joined CNN as a contributor after stepping down as the nation's most senior intelligence official last year.

'At least they got the correct spelling of my name and they got the right network,' Clapper said in remarks to CNN, referring to a mail bomb sent to CNN earlier this week and addressed to 'John Brenan'.

John Brennan, a former CIA director, is a contributor for MSNBC.

'This is definitely domestic terrorism, no question about it in my mind,' Clapper said in an interview with the cable network. 'This is not going to silence the administration´s critics.'

Clapper said that he had been on vacation with his wife, and had warned the neighbors who were collecting his mail to be on the lookout for suspicious packages as the mail bomb spree developed this week.

Like the other targets in the mail bomb spree, Clapper has been harshly critical of Trump. In a speech last year, he said that Trump was guilty of 'ignorance or disrespect'.

The NYPD bomb squad was on scene at the postal facility at West 52nd Street and 8th Avenue on Friday morning.

The NYPD's Total Containment Vessel was spotted at the scene by about 9.30am.

Streets in the area were closed off and postal workers were seen waiting on the sidewalks after the facility was evacuated.

The containment vehicle departed the area at 10am transporting the suspected bomb to a secure police facility in Rodman's Neck in the Bronx.

On Thursday, a local police bomb squad and canine units joined federal investigators to examine a sprawling U.S. mail distribution center at Opa-Locka, northwest of Miami, Miami-Dade County police said.

Investigators believe that all of the suspicious packages were sorted at the facility, which processes mail regionally in South Florida.

It was at the Opa-Locka facility that the 11th bomb was discovered, addressed to Senator Booker.

Booker is a Democrat from New Jersey. Like Clapper and the other targets of the mail bombs in the recent spree, he is an outspoken critic of Trump.

Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told MSNBC on Friday that the mail bombs were stoking fear across the county and that U.S. leaders, including Trump, must reassure the public.

Elected officials and others need to say that this is not who we are as a country, Warner said. 'That would be a heck of a lot stronger if that message also came from the White House.'

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said that Florida appeared to be the starting point for at least some of the bomb shipments.

'Some of the packages went through the mail. They originated, some of them, from Florida,' she said during an interview with Fox News Channel on Thursday.

'I am confident that this person or people will be brought to justice.'
