During a recent appearance on &#8220;Fox &#038; Friends,&#8221; Bongino emphasized that he has assigned a dedicated team to solve the case, expressing confidence that they are closing in on suspects. He criticized the previous administration for neglecting the investigation, stating that there was little interest in the case until now.<\/p>\n<p>The pipe bombs were discovered on January 5, 2021, shortly before the Capitol riots, and were fortunately not detonated. Bongino&#8217;s proactive attitude and a shift in focus towards the investigation are viewed positively by others, including Department of Justice Pardon attorney Ed Martin, who believes the renewed efforts could lead to breakthroughs. The FBI had previously examined several persons of interest and gathered security footage but had yet to identify the bombers nearly four years later. A recent report by the House Administration Subcommittee highlighted the ongoing challenges in the case, citing a lack of dialog from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/d-c-mayor-congress-must-open-a-probe-into-security-failures-at-u-s-capitol\/\" title=\"D.C.
