Cesar Sayoc — a 57-year-old man who mailed inoperative pipe bombs to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, CNN and others seen as critical of President Trump — was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a federal judge in New York Monday (August 5).

Footage shows his lawyers and family leaving court in New York City today but declining to comment.

Sayoc had been arrested in October 2018 and had pleaded guilty in March for mailing 16 improvised explosive devices to 13 targets around the country, including 11 current or former U.S. government officials, in the weeks prior to the 2018 congressional elections.

"I wish more than anything I could turn back time and take back what I did," he told U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff. "But I want you to know, your honor, with all my heart and soul, I feel the pain and suffering of these victims."

Sayoc blamed his behavior on his mental illness and excessive use of steroids, adding, "I should have listened to my mother, the love of my life."

According to a statement released by U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman in March, Sayoc's intended victims were former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Cory Booker, former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, CNN, Robert De Niro, Sen. Kamala Harris, former Attorney General Eric Holder, former President Barack Obama, George Soros, Thomas Steyer, and Rep. Maxine Waters.
