Feds release new video of suspect planting pipe bomb near DNC offices on eve of Capitol riot as probe hits 4-year mark

President-elect Trump’s 2024 election victory is set to be certified in Congress on Monday, before he is sworn in for a second term on Jan. 20.

Despite receiving more than 600 tips and offering a $500,000 reward, the FBI has not been able to identify the suspect over the four years since the discovery of the bombs on the same day supporters of Donald Trump stormed Congress trying to stop it from certifying his 2020 election defeat.

Police deactivated the bombs and neither exploded.

The FBI has previously released other video of the suspect, who wore distinctive black and gray Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes.

It is unclear if the bombs were linked to the Capitol riot, but their discovery nearby on Jan. 6, 2021, diverted police resources and remains one of the enduring mysteries of the day.

In the Jan. 6, 2021 melee at the Capitol, rioters surged past police barricades, assaulting about 140 officers and causing more than $2.8 million in damage.

The FBI said the suspect was about 5 feet 7 inches tall and released a map of the individual’s walking route that night.
