Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Had Election Conspiracy Beliefs and Disliked Both Parties
A suspect, Brian J. Cole Jr., confessed to planting pipe bombs near the RNC and DNC in Washington, D.C., on the eve of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, motivated by political discontent and a desire to 'speak up' after concerns about election tampering, though he claimed his actions were not directed at Congress or related to the riot itself.
