CAPITOL ATTACK PLOT
Lone wolf: An Ohio man has been arrested for allegedly plotting to attack the U.S. Capitol. Christopher Lee Cornell, 20, came to the FBI’s attention several months ago for alarming social media posts in which he talked about his support for violent jihad, according to a criminal complaint. He was plotting, with an undercover FBI operative, to set off pipe bombs in the Capitol and shoot people as they fled, the complaint said. Cornell and the operative allegedly met in Cincinnati in October and again in November. A source says the plan posed no threat to lawmakers.
