The FBI is renewing its investigation into the suspect who placed pipe bombs outside the Republic and Democratic National Committee buildings on January 5, 2021.
Newly released video footage shows the suspect planting the bombs, which were discovered on the morning of the Capitol attack.
The suspect is described as approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and was wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and distinctive Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes.
Alongside the renewed push for tips, the FBI has increased the reward to $500,000 for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the individual.
This announcement follows a critical report from congressional Republicans expressing frustration over the lack of progress in the investigation.

The FBI's ongoing investigation highlights the serious nature of the threats posed by the pipe bombs, which, while not detonated, could have caused significant harm to bystanders.

To report any information, individuals can contact the FBI at 1-800-225-5324 or submit tips online.
