Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. A 30-year-old Virginia man is expected in federal court today in Washington, D.C. The FBI accuses Brian Cole of planting pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican National Committees in Washington. The bombs did not go off, but they were planted the night before the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
NPR's Ryan Lucas says the investigation is nearly five years old.
Officials said yesterday it wasn't a new tip that broke this case open. 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.
NPR's Ryan Lucas reporting, coal will be formally charged with transporting an explosive device with the intent to kill or injure. He may face additional charges. People who get subsidies to help them pay for health care under the Affordable Care Act will lose them at the end of this month.
NPR's Deirdre Walsh reports, Senate Democrats are pushing legislation to extend these subsidies for three more years.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says bipartisan negotiations on a deal to head off increases in health care premiums in January never got serious. Schumer insists a straight extension is the way to address the approaching cliff.
If Republicans block our bill, there's no do-over. Premiums go up January 1st, period, and the premiums are like a hammer blow to the American people.
