A Virginia man suspected of placing two pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee headquarters the night before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol in a case that has baffled authorities for nearly five years, has been revealed to be a Trump supporter, who believes the 2020 election was “stolen.” I wonder who put those hair-brained thoughts in his mind? CNN got into more details about Brian Cole Jr.
“We’re getting some more details on the man accused of planting pipe bombs right near the U.S. Capitol on the eve of January 6th. Sources tell CNN the 30-year-old suspect in this case, Brian Cole, Jr., told investigators after his arrest that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, providing the first indication of a possible motive,” CNN’s Pamela Brown said.
“Well, Brian Cole, the suspect in this case, Wolf, sat for hours of interviews yesterday with the FBI, and among the statements that he made was that he believed the 2020 election was stolen,” senior justice correspondent Evan Perez said. “Now, that is a significant piece of information simply because there’s been so much conspiracy. There’s been a lot of speculation as to exactly what the motivation could be, certainly, because if you remember, those bombs were planted on January 5th of 2021, the day before the Capitol riot.”
