The Secret Service published an 81-page document outlining its actions and preparations in response to the events of that day. An unidentified person had placed pipe bombs outside both the DNC and Republican National Committee (RNC) headquarters the night before, which went unnoticed by the Secret Service&#8217;s canine unit that was clearing the area prior to Harris&#8217;s arrival. She arrived at the DNC shortly before noon, just hours ahead of the riot, and came within 20 feet of one of the bombs while entering through a ramp. Harris stayed in the building for approximately one hour and forty minutes. The report indicated that not all explosive detection methods were utilized during their sweep due to insufficient policies regarding security for presidential candidates and vice president-elects. The pipe bomb was eventually found by two plainclothes U.S. Capitol Police officers who were searching after another device had been discovered at RNC headquarters; they alerted Secret Service personnel who then evacuated Harris from the building. Fortunately, neither bomb detonated but they have remained a mystery for investigators since then. Despite extensive efforts over three years involving numerous FBI agents and law enforcement partners reviewing evidence and tips from citizens about potential suspects, no one has been identified yet as responsible for placing them on Capitol Hill. Surveillance footage captured an individual dressed in loose clothing with a hoodie and mask placing these devices outside prior to their discovery; currently, there is a $500,000 reward offered by the FBI for information leading to an arrest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2653,"featured_media":2318502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AP23265745123662-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[36978,32438,37075],"class_list":["post-2318501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-january-6","tag-kamala-harris","tag-pipe-bomb"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AP23265745123662-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2318501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2318502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2318501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2318501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2318501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
