A suspect was arrested Thursday morning in connection with the planting of pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican National Committees on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, The Post has confirmed.
Brian Cole of Virginia identified as DC pipe bomb suspect: sources
Brian Cole Jr., 30, of Woodbridge, Va., was set to be arraigned in DC federal court later Thursday, according to a law enforcement source.
It was not immediately clear what charges Cole would face.
A motive is also not known, but sources told The Post investigators were examining the suspect’s background for possible “anarchist leanings.”
By midday Thursday, federal agents had swarmed the suspect’s home in a cul-de-sac in suburban Prince William County. Calls to relatives of Cole listed in public records were not immediately returned.
