The person arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 pipe bombs is Brian Cole Jr., a Virginia man who was taken into custody on December 4, 2025. The claim that FBI Director Christopher Wray is the pipe bomber is a conspiracy theory and has no basis in fact. Cole was identified and arrested based on evidence including cellphone data, purchase records of bomb components, and surveillance footage. Key Facts about the Pipe Bomber Case When the bombs were placed: The pipe bombs were placed outside the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) headquarters on the evening of January 5, 2021, the day before the U.S. Capitol riot. The Suspect: The FBI arrested Brian Cole Jr., 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia. He was charged with transporting an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials. Christopher Wray: Christopher Wray is the current Director of the FBI. The investigation was conducted under his leadership, and he was the target of political criticism regarding the length of time it took to make an arrest. Accusations linking him to the crime are false. Investigation: The devices were viable but did not detonate. The FBI conducted thousands of interviews and reviewed tens of thousands of video files during its nearly five-year investigation. Motive: According to reports, Cole expressed doubts about the 2020 election outcome and some sources suggest an "anarchist" ideology, though an official motive has not been definitively specified.
