Washington, D.C. The FBI is reportedly making headway in the investigation surrounding the pipe bombs discovered near the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Deputy Director Dan Bongino shared that the bureau is 'closing in' on potential suspects.
The pipe bombs were found near the offices of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee hours before the Capitol riot. Law enforcement officials believe the bombs were strategically placed to disrupt or deter the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. The devices were rendered safe, but their discovery prompted evacuations and heightened security concerns.
The FBI has been working diligently to identify the individual or individuals responsible for planting the pipe bombs. They have released images and videos of a suspect and have offered a substantial reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Bongino's recent statement suggests that the investigation is progressing, although he did not provide specific details to avoid compromising the ongoing inquiry. The FBI continues to urge anyone with information about the pipe bombs or the suspect to come forward and assist in bringing those responsible to justice.
