New charges for Jan 6 pipe bomber

Federal prosecutors have added a terrorism enhancement to the indictment against Cole, citing a 'voluminous' digital trail of evidence.

The new counts also include committing an act of terrorism while armed, significantly increasing the potential prison time if convicted.

While the Trump administration's Justice Department has moved to vacate convictions for some other January 6 rioters, it appears to be doubling down on the pursuit of those involved in the pipe bomb plot.

Cole's family was seen in tears during his latest court appearance as the gravity of the new charges became clear.
