Judge sets February trial for man charged with planting pipe bombs on the eve of the Capitol riot

A federal trial for Brian J. Cole Jr., charged with planting pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, is set to begin February 16. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali rejected arguments that Cole qualifies for a pardon under Trump's mass pardons for Jan. 6 rioters, ruling the pardons apply only to those convicted of Capitol-related crimes.
