A Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near Democratic and Republican party headquarters before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot has a tentative trial date set for February 16, 2027. A judge ruled that President Donald Trump’s mass pardons for Jan. 6 rioters do not apply to the accused, Brian Cole, who faces decades in prison on charges of transporting and attempting to detonate explosives.
