New forensic evidence reportedly connects a former capitol Police officer, who later joined the CIA, to placing the explosives. massie accuses leadership within these agencies and the Trump administration, including FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, of ignoring or covering up the issue despite the gravity of the accusations. The FBI continues to say the investigation remains a priority but has provided limited information. additionally, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, chair of the House select subcommittee on January 6, has raised further questions about the security lapses that allowed the bombs to be discovered late, including why a Secret Service sweep failed to find one. Massie has actively pressed authorities for clarity on the matter, alleging years of concealment and expressing frustration over the stalled investigation into the pipe bombs&#8217; origin and the suspected involvement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/update-washington-d-c-mayor-muriel-bowser-was-warned-but-refused-any-additional-help-before-january-6th-vote-on-stolen-election\/\" title=\"UPDATE: Washington, D.C.
