The man charged with planting two pipe bombs in Washington, D.C., on the eve of the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks has asked the court to throw out his case in light of President Trump’s sweeping clemency for the rioters.
Brian Cole Jr., 30, was a Trump voter who told FBI investigators soon after his December arrest that he believed Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election had been stolen.
According to prosecutors, he spent months acquiring pipe bomb components and then drove to Washington, D.C., from his home in Woodbridge, Virginia, to attend a “Stop the Steal” rally scheduled for Jan. 6, 2021.
