The FBI stated on Friday that it had "developed new information regarding the pipe bombs" which were found on Jan. 6, the day of the Capitol riot.
Investigations revealed that a suspect, who has yet to be publicly identified, took a homemade explosive device out of his backpack and placed it at the Republican National Committee headquarters, and another one at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at approximately 7:30 to 8:30 pm on Jan. 5.
