Defense argues Trump Jan. 6 pardon should cover pipe-bomb suspect near Capitol

Lawyers for Brian Cole, charged with transporting an explosive device near the Capitol complex on Jan. 5–6, 2021, contend that Trump’s blanket Jan. 6 pardon should cover him, arguing his conduct was tied to the events at the Capitol and that the devices did not explode or injure anyone; they compare his case to others who were pardoned or had sentences commuted, while the White House has not commented and Cole remains detained awaiting trial.

The devices, which did not detonate but were deemed viable, were discovered as the Capitol riot unfolded. The FBI continues to prioritize the case, utilizing extensive resources and investigative techniques to identify the perpetrator.
