Jan. 6 subcommittee releases new footage outside DNC where pipe bomb was planted

The House's select subcommittee on January 6th on Thursday released new surveillance camera video during the alleged timeframe when a pipe bomb was discovered outside the Democratic National Committee building in Washington, D.C., on the day of the 2021 Capitol Hill riot.

“The moments before and after the discovery of the pipe bomb at the DNC are an important aspect of our investigation as we continue to try and unravel the events surrounding the planting of these devices,” the subcommittee posted to X. 

The pipe bomb that was planted outside the DNC was discovered at 1:05 p.m. on Jan 6. The security video below is from the Fairchild Building, which is across the street from the DNC, and encompasses the 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. timeframe on 1/6," the subcommittee also said.

The subcommittee is continuing to probe how two pipe bombs were planted that day outside both the Democratic and Republican national party headquarters. The incidents remain the largest unsolved mystery of Jan. 6. So far, no suspect has been apprehended by the police. 

As of last month, the FBI is still offering a $500,000 reward for information that would help to identify the person who placed the bombs. 

Just the News reported last month that the case is facing new mystery after FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted to Congress the lab analysis and interviews with a key witness who is challenging the official timeline of events.

The documents obtained by Just the News show that both bombs were filled with chemical building blocks of black powder, each was equipped with a 60-minute kitchen timer, and each had destructive potential. But, an ex-FBI explosives expert told Just the News that the bureau’s original lab analysis of the bombs was a “mess” and that both devices appear inoperable.
