Another suspected bomb was intercepted en route to the CNN facility in Atlanta, Georgia, Monday, authorities say, adding that there may be more roaming the postal system. Although this newest package resembles the two others sent to CNN, FBI officials cannot confirm if it is connected.

Cesar Sayoc, a part-time pizza delivery man, former male stripper and avid Donald Trump supporter, arrived in court on five charges of federal crimes. Fourteen bombs sent to former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, the CNN New York office, and billionaire Democratic donor George Soros last week.

Despite DNA evidence and fingerprints linking Sayoc to the assassination attempts, defense attorney Jamie Benjamin maintains the Florida man’s innocence, due to lack of proof.

Police officials say the alleged attacker conducted an online research into a number of journalists, entertainment personalities, and political figures critical of Trump and composed a list of over 100 potential targets, NBC News said.

Sayoc has been charged with interstate transportation and illegal mailing of explosives, threatening a former president, making threatening interstate communications, assaulting federal officers, and consequently denied bale.

On Friday, President Trump dismissed the attempted bombing as retribution for poor media coverage of himself and the Republican Party. When asked if he would keep the Obama’s and the other victims informed on any case developments, he replied only if forced.
