After nearly five years, the FBI arrested a Virginia man on Thursday suspected of planting two pipe bombs on January 6, 2021.
For a long time, FBI agents scoured purchases of clothing that a suspect caught on surveillance footage appeared to be wearing, including a pair of Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes. The affidavit mentions the shoes, but omits any evidence that Cole purchased them.
Federal law enforcement tracked Cole’s behavior before and after Jan. 6, the affidavit suggests. At one point, the FBI agent claims Cole made a purchase at a Capitol Hill restaurant on December 14, 2020. After January 6, Cole allegedly purchased more parts, including nine-volt battery hoses and clips, that could be used to make more bombs.
A TPM report from October 2024 indicated that cell tower data was part of the investigation.
“What I will say is that the reason this was so incredibly important, more than any other case, is that it was in our nation’s capital that this happened,” Bondi explained at one point.

We don’t know much about Cole’s ideological background. Attorney General Pam Bondi declined to answer a question at a news conference Thursday about Cole’s potential motivations and whether they were political. Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and former podcaster turned FBI co-deputy director Dan Bongino all showed off their longtime rhetorical skills by finding ways to describe the significance of the bombs without getting into why that day happened: The current president incited a mob to attack the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to stay in power after losing the 2020 election.

Cole traveled to Washington on the evening of Jan. 5, the affidavit states. A license plate reader captured Cole’s car exiting the highway toward the Capitol Hill area at 7:10 p.m., agents said, before cell towers that serve the area near the bipartisan headquarters picked up his phone between 7:39 and 8:24 p.m. that night.

Neither of the two pipe bombs on January 6 exploded, although their locations certainly attracted attention: one was at the DNC and the other was at the RNC. Law enforcement responding to the storming of the Capitol that day was diverted as the bombs were discovered.

Cole purchased several components used for pipe bombs, an FBI agent said in an affidavit filed in the case. These would include electronic components, wires, pipes and other parts of the bombs. The agent, who was not named in the document, described the explosive component as “homemade black powder.”
