Court papers say that he lives there with his mom and that he works in the office of a bail bondsman in Northern Virginia.

Now, as for the charges, he's charged with transporting an explosive device with intent to kill

as well as attempted malicious destruction with explosive materials.

Those are the charges as of this morning.

But officials said yesterday that this is still very much an active investigation and prosecutors could bring more charges down the road.

Right.

This has been a massive investigation to try to solve this mystery over the years.

And remember, these pipe bombs didn't go off on January 6th, but they did draw police away from the Capitol that day, the day that rioters stormed the building.

Now, officials said yesterday it wasn't a new tip that broke this case open.

Here's Attorney General Pam Bondi speaking to reporters yesterday.

Now, FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau brought in a new team of investigators and experts to reexamine all of the evidence that the FBI had collected over the past four plus years.

And that new team sifted through all of the data.

And Patel said that's what led to new investigative leads, including a critical forensic lead, he said.

And ultimately, the road led to coal.

What evidence do the prosecutors have that allegedly ties coal to these pipe bombs?

Well, an FBI affidavit says that records of financial transactions show that Cole bought items that were the same as the components used to build the pipe bombs that were found.

So galvanized pipes, end caps used to close the ends of the pipe bombs, steel wool, the same kind of white kitchen timers and red-black electrical wires.

There's also cell phone location data that shows that Cole's cell phone was pinging cell towers in the area where the pipe bombs were left on the night that they were placed there.

And then the affidavit says that a license plate leader picked up Cole's car getting off the interstate near the Capitol on the evening of January 5th, just a half hour or so before the bombs were put in place.

Well, those really are the million-dollar questions, and unfortunately, no.
