Washington Examiner

The Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, began as Congress was certifying now-President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory over former President Donald Trump and descended into chaos following a speech outside from Trump himself. The events of the day sparked Trump's second impeachment and subsequent acquittal.

Six months on, a number of key questions remain.

Pipe bomb suspect still at-large

The suspect who planted pipe bombs the night before outside the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic national committees in Washington remains unknown and at large. One pipe bomb was placed in an alley behind the RNC, while the other was placed next to a park bench near the DNC.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House in June, saying, “We are aggressively investigating. ... That’s one of the investigations that we’re particularly concerned about.”

Video footage released by the FBI shows the suspect wearing a gray hoodie, a face mask, black and light gray Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow logo, and carrying a bag while strolling through the Capitol Hill neighborhood between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 5.
