FBI arrests suspect in DC pipe bomb case after 5-year investigation

Law enforcement arrested the suspect Thursday morning in Virginia

Published December 4, 2025 8:39am EST

A suspect who allegedly planted pipe bombs blocks from the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, is now in federal custody after a nearly five-year investigation, law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

The FBI arrested the suspect, a male living in Virginia, early Thursday morning, the sources said.

Authorities discovered the two pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committees' headquarters around the same time that thousands of protesters a few blocks away began to descend on the Capitol over the 2020 election results.

Video footage released by the FBI showed an unidentified person placing the pipe bombs near the two headquarters more than 16 hours before law enforcement found them.

This is a developing story. Check back soon for updates

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI made an arrest on Thursday in its nearly 5-year-old investigation into who placed pipe bombs in Washington on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The arrest marks the first time investigators have settled on a suspect in an act that had long vexed law enforcement, spawned a multitude of conspiracy theories and remained an enduring mystery in the shadow of the dark chapter of American history that is the violent Capitol siege.

The official who described the arrest was not authorized to publicly discuss a case that has not yet been made public and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The arrest took place Thursday morning, and the suspect is a man, the official said. No other details were immediately available, including the charges the man might face.

I like Steve. Nothing against him.
But given the FBI just arrested a man for placing the bombs, the woman he targeted based on “gait analysis” is about to become very wealthy at his and his employer’s expense.

In case you’re wondering why there has been no action on our series of stories revealing knowledge and complicity by certain @CapitolPolice actors in the J6 pipe bombs conspiracy: “They are being completely steamrolled by the Comey/Wray zealots they’ve promoted.”

“I went from 90% certain that some Capitol Police were involved in the Jan. 6 pipe bomb to 95% certain, and now I'm at 99% certain after this new story … I’m doing this on probability. The probability may even be higher than that.”

It turns out that she had a solid alibi, and is no longer considered a suspect.

Apparently, a “new review of old evidence” pinpointed a man who could’ve been arrested years ago.
The identity is going to be quite telling.

The alleged DC pipe bomber, arrested about 90 minutes ago in in Virginia by the FBI, is expected to appear in court TODAY

Excerpt:
The bombs were placed at the RNC and DNC offices in Washington D.C. on Jan. 5, 2021, the day before the events of Jan. 6.

The alleged bomber was seen in what CNN described as a grainy surveillance video that showed a person in a hoodie, gloves and a face mask.

The bombs were discovered about 15 hours after they were left, and before they went off, CNN reported. They were rendered safe and no one was hurt, but officials said both pipe bombs could have been deadly, The Associated Press reported.

Likely because of social media. They have to search and identify all social media tenacles before they are corrupted/buried.

Would someone explain to me how those timers were set 15 hours or more after the devices were planted?  That is not a 15 (or more) hour timer.

BREAKING UPDATE: FBI arrests 'anarchist' Brian Cole as suspect in J6 RNC, DNC pipe bomb investigation: report
The suspect is reportedly a man who was living in Virginia.
Hannah Nightingale
The Post Millennial

After nearly five years, the FBI has reportedly arrested a suspect in its investigation into the January 2021 planting of pipe bombs outside both the Republican and Democrat party headquarters in Washington, DC. The arrested suspect has been identified as Brian Cole, sources told the New York Post.

An FBI official told NBC News that the arrest was made on Thursday morning, which will officially be announced by officials later in the day at a news conference. The suspect is reportedly a man who was living in Virginia. According to MSNOW, while a motive has not yet been determined by authorities, two people briefed on the arrest said that the suspect has been linked to statements supporting anarchist ideology.

The FBI had sought help from the public for years for information that could lead to the arrest of a suspect. Officials have described the suspect as being around 5 feet, 7 inches tall, and wearing Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a gold logo at the time. In 2023, the bureau raised the reward for information that led to an arrest from $100,000 to $500,000.

Authorities discovered two pipe bombs that had been placed near the Republican and Democratic National Committees’ headquarters in Washington, DC on January 6, around the same time as the events at the Capitol.  ...
