Trump's pardons for Jan. 6 rioters don't apply to DC pipe bomb suspect

A federal judge ruled that President Trump's pardons for Jan. 6 rioters do not apply to Brian J. Cole Jr., a Virginia man charged with planting pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., on the night before the riot. Cole was not charged or convicted when Trump issued the pardons, and prosecutors argued the pardons only cover those convicted of or indicted for Capitol riot-related crimes.
