Federal prosecutors say a Virginia man has confessed to manufacturing and planting two pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Republican and Democrat national committees on the eve of Jan. 6, 2021, according to newly filed court documents.
The suspect, Brian J. Cole Jr., was arrested this month and is charged with transporting and attempting to use improvised explosive devices in downtown Washington, D.C.
"Following his December 4, 2025 arrest, the defendant waived his Miranda rights and gave a detailed confession to the charged offenses," the Sunday court filing read.
Prosecutors say surveillance footage, cellphone location data, and years of purchase records place Cole at both locations within minutes of one another Jan. 5, 2021.
