There are zero details yet, but the fact that it was not addressed or investigated more thoroughly before the T2 Administration leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

Public attention over the years had centered in part on surveillance video taken the night before the riot showing the suspect spending close to an hour moving through the surrounding blocks, pausing on a park bench, cutting through an alley and stopping again as a dog walker passed.
The person wore a light sweatshirt, dark pants and sneakers, with a dark backpack slung over one shoulder. Investigators have long said the gait suggested the person was a man, but a surgical mask and hood rendered the face all but impossible to see.
Agents paired their video review with a broad sweep of digital records. They gathered cell tower data showing which phones were active in the neighborhood at the time and issued subpoenas to several tech companies, including Google, for location information.
Investigators also analyzed credit card transactions from hobby shops and major retailers to identify customers who had purchased components resembling those used in the two explosive devices each roughly 1 foot (0.3 meters) long and packed with gunpowder and metal, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation.
Another avenue of the investigation centered on the suspect's shoes, believed to be Nike Air Max Speed Turfs. After learning from Nike that thousands of pairs had been distributed through more than two dozen retailers, agents filed subpoenas for credit card records from Foot Locker and other chains as they worked to narrow down potential buyers. Still, for years, they had no solid breakthroughs.

That's probably why the FBI dismissed that allegation. It came from outside sources with questionable credibility.
January 6th was a MAGA White Supremacist Insurrection according to the Democrats and Media.

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet!
That story was shot down by several conservative outlets as soon as it came out!
November, 2023. Christopher Wray is asked how the FBI was able to identify and arrest so many people who entered the Capitol on January 6th but not able to identify the person who left the pipe bombs.
