In January 2021, an individual placed pipe bombs outside the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee buildings in our nation’s capital. Now, nearly 5 years later, a suspect has finally been arrested.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
From Fox News:
The suspect who allegedly planted pipe bombs blocks from the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, has been identified as Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Va., according to two sources briefed on the arrest.
The sources say Cole, 30, is in FBI custody as of Thursday following roughly five years of investigation. He is charged with use of an explosive device, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday.
…
Authorities have not released further details about the man, but one federal law enforcement source told Fox that the FBI is carrying out “court-enforced activity” at Cole’s residence.
Both Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel both criticized the Biden administration for failing to arrest a suspect. AG Bondi said there were no new tips or witnesses that led to the arrest, accusing the Biden administration of sitting on evidence for years. Director Patel, meanwhile, simply wrote on X, “This is a case that should’ve been solved by the previous administration. 5 years later, justice is finally being delivered.”
Cole appeared in federal court yesterday, where he told Judge Moxila Upadhyaya that he understood the charges against him. His family was present in the court room, yelling supportive comments as he was led out. Cole will remain in custody until his detention hearing on December 15.
Years after the fact, the Trump administration is hard at work uncovering the truth and delivering justice. As proceedings continue, let’s pray for wisdom for all involved, for transparency, and for justice.
