Cellphone data helped the FBI crack the years-old Jan. 6 pipe bomber case this week. However, for years, the FBI claimed that the data didn’t exist. That detail, along with several others in a seven-page affidavit filed in the case of Brian Cole Jr.

The FBI has made an arrest in the nearly 5-year-old investigation into a pipe bomb being placed outside the offices of the Democratic and Republican national committees right before Jan. 6, 2021.

Cole allegedly planted pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters in D.C., before the riots took place.

What we know from court documents and media reports since his arrest Thursday is that suspect Brian Cole Jr., is a black, 30-year-old loner who lives in his mom’s basement in the middle-class suburb of Woodbridge, Va., a 20-minute drive from Washington, DC. According to his family, he is borderline autistic, and incapable of such a crime.
