In a shocking development that has reignited the national conversation about the events of January 6, 2021, former President Donald Trump has publicly asserted that the FBI knows the identity of the individual responsible for planting pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Capitol riot. Trump’s bold claim, made during a recent interview with Revolver News’ Darren Beattie, suggests a deliberate cover-up by federal authorities – a narrative that aligns with the explosive findings of a recent House Administration Committee report.
The January 6 pipe bomb incident remains one of the most perplexing and underreported aspects of that fateful day. The bombs, planted just hours before the Capitol breach, were discovered outside the DNC and RNC offices but failed to detonate. Despite an extensive FBI investigation – including over 1,000 interviews, 39,000 video files reviewed, and a $500,000 reward for information—the suspect’s identity remains a mystery. But according to Trump, the mystery may not be as unsolvable as the FBI claims.
In his interview with Beattie, the former president expressed confidence that the FBI knows who planted the bombs but has chosen to conceal the truth. “The FBI knows who did it,” Trump asserted, implying that the suspect’s identity would be politically damaging to the Biden administration and the so-called “regime” in power. This bombshell accusation comes on the heels of an 80-page House Administration Committee report that corroborates much of independent media’s reporting, raising serious questions about the FBI’s handling of the case.
The report, released just days before Trump’s interview, suggests that the FBI conducted a legitimate investigation into the pipe bombs for the first few months of 2021 but abruptly dropped the case around May of that year. Beattie and Trump both speculate that the FBI uncovered the bomber’s identity and determined that revealing it would be too embarrassing for the Biden administration. This theory has gained traction among conservatives, who have long criticized the FBI for what they see as a pattern of politically motivated misconduct.
