Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. The man accused of planting two pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol the night before a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building almost five years ago was in federal court today in Washington, D.C. This was Brian Cole Jr.'s first court appearance since his arrest yesterday after a nearly five-year FBI investigation. NPR's

Ryan Lucas reports. At his initial court appearance, Brian Cole Jr. was dressed in a beige jumpsuit and

glasses. He stared at the table in front of him as a magistrate judge read the charges and Cole

answered yes when asked if he understood. Prosecutor said Cole spoke with law enforcement for more than four hours Thursday following his arrest.

They did not provide details in court on what he said,

but a person familiar with the matter told NPR that Cole told investigators he believed conspiracy theories

that the 2020 election was stolen.

Cole is due back in court later this month for a detention hearing.

the Nobel Peace Prize.
