House Report Highlights Security Lapses in Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Investigation

Four years after the discovery of pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC, no suspect has been identified, raising concerns about federal law enforcement's handling of the case.

The House Judiciary and Administration Committees' report criticizes federal agencies for major security failures in responding to the Jan. 6, 2021, pipe bombs found near the DNC and RNC headquarters.
The FBI has amassed 105 million data points and identified persons of interest but has made no arrests or significant progress in the investigation over four years.
Key security lapses included the failure to secure perimeters, allowing Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to come dangerously close to one of the devices.
The report raises questions about diverted law enforcement resources, which may have contributed to the Capitol's vulnerability during the Jan. 6 riot.
Concerns persist about unexplained gaps in CCTV footage and the FBI's limited transparency with Congress on the investigation's status.
