Prior to Sayoc's arrest, Donald Trump had seemed to imply that the bombs were a distraction from Republicans doing well in early voting.
"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," he tweeted. "Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!"
Trump is currently addressing the mail bombings during an appearance at the Young Black Leadership Summit.
