The FBI said the investigation had revealed new information, including that the explosive devices were placed outside the two buildings between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 5, the night before the riot. It is not clear whether that means the pipe bombs were unrelated to the next dayโ€™s riot or were part of the riot planning.

Federal prosecutors are looking at bringing significant cases involving possible sedition and conspiracy charges in last weeks riot at the U.S. Capitol. Nearly a week after the riot, officials said they were combing through mountains of evidence and vowed to aggressively seek out those who perpetrated the brazen attack on the U.S. Capitol. The statements by FBI and Justice Department officials on Tuesday were intended as both a defense of federal law enforcement preparations before the deadly riot and as a warning to participants. And they said that federal law enforcement authorities said that there was activity on Twitter, but that they werenโ€™t expecting the level of violence they ultimately saw last Wednesday. Even without intelligence from law enforcement, there had been ample warning about pro-Trump demonstrations in Washington.

FBI director says antifa is an ideology, not an organization

Read full article: FBI director says antifa is an ideology, not an organization

(Chip Somodevilla/Pool via AP)WASHINGTON โ€“ FBI Director Chris Wray told lawmakers Thursday that antifa is an ideology, not an organization, delivering testimony that puts him at odds with President Donald Trump, who has said he would designate it a terror group. Hours after the hearing, Trump took to Twitter to chastise his FBI director for his statements on antifa and on Russian election interference, two themes that dominated a congressional hearing on threats to the American homeland. Trump tweeted that the U.S. would be designating antifa as a terrorist organization, even though such designations are historically reserved for foreign groups and antifa lacks the hierarchical structure of formal organizations. The FBI director said racially motivated violent extremists, such as white supremacists, have been responsible for the most lethal attacks in the U.S. in recent years. He responded on that front Thursday evening, tweeting: โ€œBut Chris, you donโ€™t see any activity from China, even though it is a FAR greater threat than Russia, Russia, Russia.

Man pleads guilty to threatening to bomb Jacksonville abortion clinic

A 43-year-old South Carolina man pleaded guilty Friday in federal court to threatening to bomb a Jacksonville abortion clinic. Federal law makes it illegal to threaten to blow up people and to lie to the FBI about bomb threats, said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband. Allen made several other calls to the clinic that day in an attempt to interfere with its ability to provide services. The FBI obtained toll records and subscriber information for the number used to make the bomb threat to the clinic and positively identified Allen as the caller, authorities said. In a voluntary and secretly recorded interview with the FBI, Allen falsely denied calling the clinic and stating that someone was coming to blow it up, authorities said.

The U.S. government needs "real-time access to a full range of social media exchanges" to better fight terrorist groups and domestic threats, the FBI said in its request for bids, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. This is not the first time the FBI has sought access to a wide array of social media data. In 2016, the agency announced it had hired the social media analysis company Dataminr to allow law enforcement to "search the complete Twitter firehose, in near real-time, using customizable filters." Social media platforms routinely provide data to law enforcement on specific individuals. Facebook declined to comment, but referred CNN Business to its existing app developer policies, which prohibit Facebook users' information from being shared with "unauthorized" parties.
