During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, providing perhaps the first indication of a possible motive for the bombs placed near the DNC and RNC headquarters, people briefed on the matter told CNN.
Brian Cole Jr. spent hours with FBI investigators and made multiple statements, the sources said. Dan Bongino, deputy FBI director, told Fox News on Thursday that the FBI had interviewed the suspect at length, but didn’t elaborate.
The FBI and the Justice Department declined to comment for this story.
The FBI arrested Cole, 30, at home, where he lives with his parents, on Thursday. He was brought before Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya Friday afternoon for his first court appearance. He was wearing a tan jumpsuit and glasses as the judge read him his rights.
Six members of Cole’s family came to the hearing, and were visibly emotional, even standing up at various points. After the hearing concluded, they shouted to Cole.
“We love you Brian,” they said. “We’re here for you baby.”
The judge set a detention hearing for December 15, where prosecutors will seek for Cole to be detained ahead of his trial.
