A Florida man who pleaded guilty to sending pipe bombs to CNN and prominent critics of U.S. President Donald Trump says he thinks he was misunderstood at his guilty plea.
Cesar Sayoc said in a letter to a judge that was made public Tuesday that it was never his intent to harm anyone.
"I realized that it was the wrong thing to say, because under no circumstances my intent was to hurt or harm anyone. The intention was to only intimidate and scare," he wrote. Sayoc admitted sending 16 rudimentary bombs -- none of which detonated -- to targets including Hillary Clinton, former Vice-President Joe Biden, several members of Congress, former President Barack Obama and actor Robert De Niro. Devices were also mailed to CNN offices in New York and Atlanta.
