Cole Jr., 30, of Virginia, was arrested in December 2025 and confessed to planting undetonated pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees on January 5, 2021, citing political disillusionment after the 2020 election and a desire to protest both major parties. 他告诉联邦调查局调查员，他觉得“某种东西突然断裂了”，灵感来自爱尔兰“动乱”等历史冲突，且无意伤害任何人或破坏1月6日的国会认证。 He told FBI investigators he felt “something just snapped,” was inspired by historical conflicts like the Troubles in Ireland, and did not intend to harm anyone or disrupt the January 6 congressional certification. 检察官辩称,这些装置很危险,他的行为构成了严重威胁,而他的辩护小组将反对在2025年12月30日的听证会之前进行审前拘留。 Prosecutors argue the devices were dangerous and that his actions posed a serious threat, while his defense team will oppose pretrial detention ahead of a December 30, 2025 hearing.
