DC pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr.’s possible motive revealed: ‘Something just snapped’

DC pipe-bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr. told authorities he wanted to “speak up” for people who believed the 2020 election was stolen and target the country’s political parties for being “in charge” after his arrest earlier this month, prosecutors said Sunday.

Cole, 30, told agents that “something just snapped” in him before he allegedly placed two pipe bombs by the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 riots, according to a newly filed Justice Department memo.
