"Georgia GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk confirmed to Just The News on Friday that the Virginia man accused of planting two pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol the day before the Jan. 6, 2021, riot told investigators that he planted them.
The suspect, 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr., allegedly said he planted the bombs at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee in a four-hour interview as part of a multi-agency probe led by the FBI.
Loudermilk, who is leading the House Judiciary Committee's Select Subcommittee on the January 6th Investigation, said he had a briefing with the FBI earlier Friday and that although they were not comfortable giving a motive for planting the pipe bombs, they confirmed that the suspect has allegedly confessed to planting them."
