After failing for four years to track down DC pipe bomber, FBI hopes there’s a new person willing to talk

The FBI on Thursday released new video angles of the suspect near both locations as well as a new height estimate, five feet and seven inches, of the person
After four unsuccessful years trying to identify the person who placed two viable pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters, the FBI is hoping that allegiances have changed and someone is ready to talk. Despite well-publicized photos of a suspect wearing a hoodie and facemask, a substantial reward and a thousand interviews, the FBI has still been unable to determine who placed the pipe bombs on January 5, 2021, the night before then-President Donald Trump would make his last-ditch effort to overturn the 2020 election. The FBI on Thursday released new video angles of the suspect near both locations as well as a new height estimate, five feet and seven inches, of the person – who wore a hoodie and a mask the night they placed the bombs – hoping it may lead to more tips. David Sundberg, the assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington, DC, field office, told CNN that perhaps people will look at the information or suspect in a different light in 2025 than they did previously. “Maybe allegiances have changed or relationships have changed and it’s time to report” on the suspect, Sundberg said. The videos show how the suspect moved around both party headquarters and eventually placed the bombs that evening.

One year ago this week, Joe Biden was president. I was in Doha, Qatar, negotiating with Israel and Hamas to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The incoming Trump team worked closely with us, a rare display of nonpartisanship to free hostages and end a war. It feels like a decade ago. A lot can happen in a year, as 2025 has shown.

Botched Epstein redactions trace back to Virgin Islands’ 2020 civil racketeering case against estate
A botched redaction in the Epstein files revealed that government attorneys once accused his lawyers of paying over $400,000 to “young female models and actresses” to cover up his criminal activities

The Justice Department’s leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida Tuesday to volunteer over the “next several days” to help to redact the Epstein files, in the latest internal Trump administrationpush toward releasing the hundreds of thousands of photos, internal memos and other evidence around the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The US State Department on Tuesday imposed visa sanctions on a former top European Union official and employees of organizations that combat disinformation for alleged censorship – sharply ratcheting up the Trump administration’s fight against European regulations that have impacted digital platforms, far-right politicians and Trump allies, including Elon Musk.
