U.S. President Donald Trump said the man suspected of sending explosive devices to CNN and several prominent Democrats "was insane a long time before."
Cesar Sayoc, who has publicly supported President Donald Trump, was arrested in connection to a series of mail bombs addressed to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others.
"He was insane a long time before. You look at his medical records, he was insane for a long time," Trump said in a Fox News interview released Monday, apparently seeking to distance his political movement from Sayoc.
The president previously claimed, following both the explosive device discoveries and the shooting, that "Fake News" has caused "great anger" in the country.
