The suspect in the Washington, D.C., Pipe Bomb investigation believes the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump.
That’s what Brian Cole, 30, of Virginia told FBI agents after his arrest Thursday, per CNN.
Investigators believe this may be the motive for the bombs placed near the Democratic National Committer and Republican National Committer headquarters on Jan. 5, 2021.
The next day, protestors stormed the Capitol to dispute the election.
The FBI interviewed Cole for hours when he made many statements, sources said.
The FBI and the Justice Department declined to comment.
The FBI speculated Cole assembled bomb-making supplies formonths before leaving the pipe bombs.
