Suspect In D.C. Pipe Bomb Case Will Remain Jailed

The man accused of planting a pair of pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic national parties in Washington on the eve of the U.S. Capitol attack confessed to the act in interviews with investigators. That’s according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press. The people said Brian Cole Jr. also indicated that he believed the election was stolen and expressed views supportive of President Donald Trump. During Cole’s initial court appearance on Friday, a prosecutor said the 30-year-old suspect from Woodbridge, Virginia, spoke to law-enforcement officers for over four hours after his arrest on Thursday. Cole didn’t enter a plea to explosives charges during the brief hearing.
