Report: J6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Confesses, Claims to Support Trump Despite Family’s Business Suing Administration
The man accused of planting pipe bombs in Washington, D.C. ahead of the January 6, 2021 Capitol protest reportedly confessed to the crime and told the FBI that he believed President Donald Trump was the rightful winner of the 2020 election — though his family’s company had lost a lawsuit they filed against the Trump administration just weeks before the bombs were placed.
Brian Cole Jr., 30, was arrested by FBI officials at his family home in Northern Virginia on Thursday before confessing to placing the devices, which did not explode, outside the Republican and Democrat national party headquarters near the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, sources told MS NOW.
The two people familiar with Cole Jr.’s FBI interview also told the outlet that the suspect said he was a Trump supporter who thought he had actually beat then-President-elect Joe Biden, though his social media posts appearing to “express anarchist leanings” have made determining a motive complicated for investigators, the outlet reported.
“It’s not yet clear what the drivers were,” an anonymous law enforcement official said.
Investigators have not found any evidence that the Virginia man colluded with any militant groups or other Trump supporters who breached the Capitol building the day after the bombs were planted, the sources added.
