The suspect accused of planting pipe bombs on the eve of January 6 is facing two new felony charges, including a terrorism charge, as prosecutors seek to keep the case in court. The Justice Department has clarified that the suspect, Brian Cole Jr., is not covered by any pardons issued by Trump related to January 6. Despite arguments from the defense claiming the blanket pardon applies to him, the DOJ has expressly stated that it does not safeguard the alleged bomber from prosecution. This development has seen a renewed focus on the controversial actions and decisions surrounding the January 6 events and the implications of presidential pardons.
