Here's Attorney General Jeff Sessions, FBI Director Chris Wray, NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill, SDNY US Attorney Geoffrey Berman + other officials announcing developments in the investigation into suspicious packages sent to Dems and CNN. Story: buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/buzzfe…
Sessions announces Cesar Sayoc is facing five fed counts, up to 58 years in prison: interstate transpo. of an explosive, illegal mailing of explosives, threats against former presidents and others, threatening interstate commerce, and assaulting current and former fed officers
FBI Director Wray says they were able to identify Sayoc based on a latent fingerprint found on a letter sent to Rep. Maxine Waters
Reporter asks why Sayoc was targeting Democrats. Sessions replies: "I don't know." Says they'll learn more as the investigation goes forward.
Wray was asked when Trump was briefed that they had a suspect, and what the president's reaction was. Wray says he isn't going to get into their discussions, but said he got a congratulatory phone call from Trump on his way over to the briefing
Here's the criminal complaint against Cesar Sayoc, filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5022… Sayoc is accused of mailing 13 IEDs — "approximately six inches of PVC pipe, a small clock, a battery, wiring, and energetic material"
UPDATE: DOJ spox says AG Sessions had the wrong number for how much prison time Cesar Sayoc faces — he faces up to 48 years in prison, not 58 years
