A federal judge has scheduled a February 16 trial for Brian J. Cole Jr., who is accused of planting pipe bombs near the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican national committees on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

According to the report, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ruled that President Donald Trump's pardons for individuals convicted in connection with the Capitol riot do not apply to Cole's case.

The report said prosecutors allege Cole planted two explosive devices before the riot and was later indicted on four charges, including terrorism-related offenses, after allegedly confessing to FBI agents.

According to the report, the trial is expected to last about two weeks, and attorneys for both sides have not discussed a plea agreement.

Judge Ali said Trump's blanket pardons were limited to offenses directly related to the Capitol riot and did not extend to the separate allegations involving the pipe bombs.
