A Republican-led House panel intends to conduct a hearing on the pipe bombs discovered outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters on the morning of Jan. 6 2021.
The House Administration Committee's oversight subcommittee, headed by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), has scheduled the hearing for March 12.
The hearing, titled “Three Years Later: Assessing the Law Enforcement Response to Multiple Pipe Bombs on January 6, 2021,” will feature witnesses such as an assistant chief of the Capitol Police, a former D.C. Transit Authority K-9 official, a retired FBI special agent, and the CEO of the U.S. Bomb Technician Association.
Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund testified to a Senate panel in 2021, expressing his belief that the bombs were strategically placed right off the edge of our perimeter to, as he suspected, draw resources away. He suggested that there was significant coordination involved in the attack.
Later that year, the FBI released footage of the pipe bomb suspect wearing a face mask, glasses, a gray hooded sweatshirt, and gloves, while using a backpack to transport the bombs.
