A woman in Washington, DC said she found a pipe bomb while doing laundry on the same day as Capitol

The FBI has launched an investigation after a woman in Washington, DC found a pipe bomb while doing her laundry on the same day as pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol.

On January 6, Karlin Younger was staking her laundry back to her apartment from the laundromat, she saw what she thought was trash - until she looked closer and saw wires and a timer.

"You're on that edge of, 'I don't want to bother anybody,' I want to make sure this is real," Younger told WISN. "You don't want to go down as the person who evacuates a city block for a hoax. But at the same time, there was just enough of that gut instinct that said, 'This isn't a place you put a hoax,' I have to have somebody check this out."

Younger, who lives near the Republican National Committee (RNC) headquarters, alerted a security guard nearby.
