A group of participants in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot has filed a class action lawsuit in Florida seeking $18 million from the federal government for alleged injuries. The suit, led by former Proud Boys member Alan E. Fischer, accuses Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police of using excessive force without warning. It comes after President Donald Trump pardoned around 1,500 rioters last year.
Federal authorities have arrested Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old bail bondsman from Woodbridge, Virginia, on charges that he planted pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican national committee headquarters on January 5, 2021, the night before the Capitol riot. Charging documents and law enforcement officials say investigators linked him to years of purchases of bomb-making components and to cell phone and vehicle data placing him near the sites. The arrest comes nearly five years after the devices were discovered, following an internal review of the stalled case under new FBI leadership.
