of Woodbridge, Virginia.
That's about 20 miles from D.C.
What else have we learned about him?
Yeah, U.S.
Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Cole will be charged with transporting an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
Officials were hesitant to give more specifics on that nor many other aspects of the investigation.
At the time of the press conference, the search on Cole's house hadn't even wrapped up yet.
But charging documents released on Thursday gave a few more details.
Law enforcement looked into Cole's use of credit cards and saw he bought components consistent with the materials needed to make pipe bombs between 2018 and 2020.
They also looked at Cole's cell phone data, which showed him in the area of the RNC and the DNC headquarters on January 5th.
They also caught Cole's car, a 2017 Nissan Sentra, on a license plate reader about half a mile from where the bombs were placed.
Now, our own Luke Rosiak found out more about the alleged pipe bomber, and what he found was quite stunning, and it really cuts against a lot of narratives going on.
Here's Rosiak.
The Daily Wire can report that Ryan Cole Jr., who was arrested on Thursday and charged with planting the pipe bombs outside of the DNC and RNC, worked for his father, who owned a bail bonds company focused on getting illegal immigrants out of jail, and which had actually sued the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security over immigration issues.
The company took those lawsuits all the way to the D.C.
Court of Appeals, which ruled against it in November 2020.
Just weeks later, Cole Jr.
allegedly planted those pipe bombs.
Later in that same year of 2021, his father held a press conference alongside Benjamin Crump, the left-wing attorney who represented Trayvon Martin, lamenting anti-Black racism.
His father called on the Biden DOJ to go after a local prosecutor who had raised concerns about the bail bond business, claiming that was discrimination.
