The FBI has released new surveillance video of the suspect who placed pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC offices in D.C
The FBI posted new surveillance video on
“The FBI is still offering a $500,000 reward for information to help identify the person who placed pipe bombs in the offices of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee on January 5, 2021,” the FBI wrote on X.
“As part of our ongoing investigation, we are releasing updated video of the subject, which includes previously unreleased footage, high-quality video, and longer clips of the subject’s movements.”
The new footage tracks the suspect’s movements the night before the Capitol riot, and shows the person carrying a backpack and planting bombs outside the two party headquarters between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. before disappearing from sight in Washington, D.C.
In the video, the FBI said the suspect is about 5 feet 7 inches tall and is seen wearing a gray hooded jacket, black gloves and distinctive Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow logo while carrying the explosive devices in a backpack and covering his face with a mask.

The FBI said the suspect was seen walking through Capitol Hill neighborhoods between 7:34 p.m. and 8:18 p.m., first appearing near 1st Street and North Carolina Avenue SE before stopping briefly on South Capitol Street to drop off a backpack believed to contain one of the bombs.
The person later sat on a bench outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters, where video shows the first explosive device being placed around 7:54 p.m.
The suspect then continued toward RNC headquarters, where the second device was planted at 8:16 p.m., before disappearing from sight moments later.

In January, the FBI renewed its focus on the unsolved case by releasing new video footage of the suspect, and in May, Deputy Director Dan Bongino told “Fox & Friends” that he was “very confident” that the agency was closing in on the suspects.
Investigators say they followed hundreds of leads, reviewed thousands of video files, and conducted more than 1,000 interviews.
Bongino stressed the importance of audience engagement and said social media is a vital tool to attract new potential customers.
Although no one was injured in the 2021 pipe bomb incident, authorities say the attack could have been deadly.
Then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was inside the Democratic National Committee offices when the pipe bomb was discovered. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also passed near the bomb before authorities discovered it and safely removed it.
