FBI Director Christopher Wray is expressing confidence in the investigation examining pipe bombs found in Washington, D.C., over two years ago.

The head of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency sat down for an interview with Fox News’ Brett Baier that aired on Tuesday and discussed a range of topics.

Baier noted one Twitter user had asked about the investigation into pipe bombs placed outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) on Jan. 5, 2021.

“A still unidentified person planted pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC, which diverted law enforcement attention and resources on Jan. 6,” the user wrote.

He asked, “With hundreds of other Jan. 6 defendants arrested over two years, how has the bomber still not been caught, and does the FBI director still feel confidently that they will someday be brought to justice?”

“I will say that I have enormous confidence in the team, the dedicated team that is focused exclusively on that investigation, and we have devoted loads and loads of effort into that specific investigation,” Wray responded.

He noted the FBI has asked for the public’s help in the investigation.

“Those folks, those FBI agents, analysts, and professional staff, I have total confidence in them,” he added.

For two years, investigators have been looking into a hooded individual who walked through Capitol Hill alleyways on the night of Jan. 5, 2021, with what they say were pipebombs. The devices were then placed outside of the DNC and RNC headquarters. They were discovered shortly before of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Last year, Steven D’Antuono, the former assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, told ABC News, “They would have exploded. They could have exploded.”

“They are viable devices that could have gone off and exploded, causing a lot of serious injury or death,” D’Antuono added.

D’Antuono has since retired from the FBI.

The outlet noted the incident was alarming because although the devices did not detonate, Vice President Kamala Harris had a meeting at the DNC on Jan. 6.

Since then, the FBI has reportedly conducted roughly 1,000 interviews, collected over 39,000 video files, and visited more than 1,200 businesses and residences.

It has also reportedly reviewed over 500 tips.

The agency is offering a $500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
