Prosecutors say Cole agreed to speak to investigators after his December 4th arrest.
Court papers say Cole initially denied making the pipe bombs, but later acknowledged that he both built them and placed them near the Republican and Democratic National Party headquarters.
He also allegedly told investigators that, quote, something just snapped, end quote, after the 2020 presidential election and the claims that it was stolen.
He allegedly said that if the vote was indeed stolen, then someone needed to, quote, speak up.
Cole allegedly said he didn't like the Republican or Democratic Party, but he wanted to do something to them because they were in charge.
He also denied his actions were directed at Congress.
Cole is due back in court Tuesday.
