A man suspected of planting pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic parties' headquarters in D.C. on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot's eve provided a detailed confession, per a Department of Justice filing Sunday evening.
Why it matters: In the first indication of a potential motive in the case, the DOJ alleged in the filing Brian J. Cole Jr. told the FBI he felt someone needed to "speak up" after he became concerned that voting in the 2020 presidential election had been "tampered with" following President Trump's loss to former President Biden.
