FBI Co-Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who led the investigation, criticized the Biden administration for "focusing on other things" and said he created a multiagency team to re-examine the evidence that led to a suspect.

"You're not going to walk into our capital city, out down two explosive devices and walk off in the sunset," Bongino said about the would-be bomber. "Not going to happen β€” we were going to track this person to the end of the Earth. There was no way he was getting away."

Bongino, in a 2024 episode of his eponymous podcast, claimed that the pipe bomb was an β€œinside job” to stop Trump. β€œThis was a setup. I have zero doubt,” he said last year.
