A Virginia man is facing trial for allegedly planting pipe bombs near the US Capitol. The accused, Brian Cole, has a tentative trial date set for February 16, 2027. The trial is expected to last two weeks, with both the government and defense presenting their cases.

Cole's team had attempted to use President Donald Trump's pardons for January 6 rioters to get the case dismissed, but this was ruled unsuccessful. Further details on the case are available from the source, including the charges against Cole and the potential prison sentence he faces.
