The FBI arrested a suspect in the Jan. 6 pipe bomb investigation. The agency has publicly identified Brian Cole Jr., of Woodbridge, VA, as the suspect in the case that has confounded law enforcement and launched a number of conspiracy theories for nearly five years. The night before the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, pipe bombs were placed outside the Democratic and Republican headquarters in Washington, DC. While they did not detonate, both bombs were operational and could have killed people, officials said. Beyond naming a suspect, the FBI did not provide details of a motive, or if the bombs were connected to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Attorney General Pam Bondi said that Cole was charged with explosives offenses, though additional charges could be filed.
Lawmakers were shown a video of the lethal Caribbean boat strike. High-ranking US military officers met with members of Congress yesterday and showed them a video of the controversial Sept. 2 follow-up strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea. Admiral Frank M. Bradley, who the White House said authorized the strike, defended the decision, denying reports that there was an order to kill survivors. After seeing the video, Republican Sen. Tom Cotton called the attack “highly lawful,” while Democratic Rep. Jim Himes said it was “one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service.”
Paramount called the Warner Bros. Discovery sales process “unfair.” The company behind Mission: Impossible and CBS News did the corporate equivalent of tattling to the teacher, issuing a scathing letter to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and the company’s board. The letter argues that the ongoing bidding war between Paramount, Netflix, and Comcast to acquire WBD is not a fair fight. In particular, Paramount accused WBD leadership of favoring Netflix’s bid and implied it wouldn’t pass regulatory scrutiny. Experts believe the letter could be a prelude to a hostile takeover attempt by Paramount.—AE
