After a nearly five-year investigation, a suspect has been arrested for allegedly planting pipe bombs in Washington ahead of the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, federal authorities announced.
Attorney General Pam Bondi identified the suspect as Brian Cole Jr., 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia. She said he was charged with use of an explosive device and that more search warrants were still being executed on Dec. 4.
“There could be more charges to come,” Bondi told reporters. "There was no new tip. There was no new witness, just good diligent police work and prosecutorial work."
Officials noted the alleged pipe bomber was from Woodbridge, Virginia, a city roughly 25 miles from Washington. Bondi did not disclose Cole’s alleged motive, saying the investigation is ongoing.
On Don Trump Jr.’s podcast, Triggered, Patel repeatedly criticized the Biden administration's handling of the case.
Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said authorities focused on evidence they already had, rather than receiving new tips.
“You're not going to walk into our Capital city, put down two explosive devices and walk off in the sunset,” Bongino said. “Not going to happen. We were going to track this person to the end of the earth. There was no way he was getting away.”
