Accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr.’s arrest by the FBI came about after evidence in the dormant investigation was resurrected under the Trump administration, officials revealed Thursday.
“This wasn’t a tip, this wasn’t some new evidence — this was the hard work of the Trump administration, Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
The case remains under investigation, Bondi said, adding that it “languished” under four years of the Biden administration and that more search warrants are being carried out — with more charges possible as the case progresses.
Cole was charged Thursday with the use of an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
