Federal court filings indicate the Biden FBI identified the January 6 pipe bomber as early as April 2021 but did not move to arrest or charge the suspect for several years, according to an affidavit and a report released by the January 6 Select Subcommittee.
Brian Cole, 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, was taken into custody on Thursday and charged with use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction using explosive materials. Prosecutors allege Cole planted pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters on January 5, 2021, the night before the Capitol riot. Investigators say Cole later admitted to placing the devices.
The arrest came nearly five years after the Biden DOJ's discovery. The House Select Subcommittee on January 6th noted that in its report, the subcommittee found that an FBI case team in April 2021 identified a redacted user who had been in the area where the pipe bombs were placed using their phone.
The affidavit stated that cellphone tower records from the area of the RNC and DNC’s Washington, DC headquarters showed Cole’s phone in the area of where the pipe bombs were placed, with seven "data session transactions" taking place with nearby cellphone towers between 7:39 pm and 8:24 pm on January 5, 2021. The bombs were placed near the RNC and DNC between 7:30 and 8:30 pm.
