FBI Arrests Suspect In January 6 Pipe Bomb Case

A suspect tied to the planting of pipe bombs outside of the Republican and Democratic Party headquarters the night before January 6 has been arrested by the FBI, according to multiple reports.

The arrest comes over five years after the incident, which has long puzzled investigators. ABC reported that the suspect is a Virginia man. The suspect’s identity has not been released, and it is not clear what charges he may face. The Daily Wire reached out to the FBI for more information.

The FBI has offered a $500,000 award for any tips that help identify the suspect. Investigators said they believe the suspect to be about 5’7.

Last month, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino provided an update on the pipe bomb investigation after criticism over the lack of progress on the case.

“Despite the multitude of challenges we faced, one of our first initiatives was to aggressively pursue a new strategy to investigate the January 6 pipe bomb, terror attack,” Bongino said. “We brought in new personnel to take a look at the case, we flew in police officers and detectives working as TFOs (task force officers) to review FBI work, we conducted multiple internal reviews, held countless in person and SVTC meetings with investigative team members, we dramatically increased investigative resources, and we increased the public award for information in the case to utilize crowd-sourcing leads.”
