"Cole initially entered a not guilty plea to the original charges, though he has yet to be formally arraigned on the new ones. A judge ordered that he remain in custody ahead of his trial, concluding that Cole poses an intolerable risk of danger to the community if released."
"Court documents revealed that Cole told investigators he believed the 2020 election had been interfered with and that someone needs to speak up. He described in detail his construction, transportation, and planting of the pipe bombs."
Brian Cole Jr., accused of placing pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC headquarters before the January 6 Capitol attack, now faces additional felony charges. The updated indictment includes charges of attempting to use weapons of mass destruction and committing an act of terrorism while armed. Although the bombs did not explode, they were functional. Cole remains in custody due to concerns about community safety, and he has expressed beliefs about election interference as a motive for his actions.
