Justice Department officials said Thursday that federal agents arrested a suspect accused of planting pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic national committees on the eve of Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, acknowledging that the break in the case came from evidence the FBI already possessed during Biden administration.

Speaking at a press conference inside the DOJ’s headquarters, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Brian Cole Jr. was taken into custody and charged with using an explosive device. Bondi repeatedly said the case “languished” under former President Joe Biden. Senior officials admitted that President Donald Trump’s FBI did not receive a new tip, witness, or piece of evidence, but rather connected the dots using evidence they said the Biden DOJ withheld. However, the officials provided little information about what led to the breakthrough and offered few details about the suspect.
