US EditionDC pipe bomb suspect pleads not guilty to federal charges
Brian J. Cole Jr. faces federal charges including transporting explosives after planting undetonated pipe bombs near political party headquarters before the 2021 Capitol riot.
- On Friday, Brian J. Cole Jr. pleaded `not guilty` to federal charges of transporting and attempting to use explosives in Washington, DC.
- Prosecutors say the devices were placed on January 5, 2021, and their discovery diverted law enforcement from rioters supporting President Donald Trump disrupting Capitol certification.
- The FBI arrested Cole at the Virginia home where he lived with his parents and said he spent hours with investigators making multiple statements, while his attorneys argue the devices could never have exploded and seek review of the magistrate judge's detention decision.
- The DC federal court arraignment took place over a month after initial charging because a grand jury wasn't in session over the holidays; his next hearing is January 28.
- Media figures commented, with Dan Bongino telling Fox News the FBI interviewed the suspect at length and Jeanine Pirro, DC U.S. Attorney , saying Cole was disappointed in `both sides of the system`.
