FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has announced the reopening and renewed investigation into several high-profile cases previously overlooked, citing concerns of potential public corruption. These include the 2021 pipe bomb incident near the Capitol, the unexplained discovery of cocaine in the White House, and the leak of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which overturned Roe v. Wade.
“Shortly after being sworn in, the Director and I reviewed several unresolved cases that have generated significant public interest,” Bongino stated. “We’ve decided to either reopen these cases or reallocate investigative resources toward them. This includes the D.C. pipe bombing, the cocaine incident at the White House, and the Supreme Court leak.”
According to Bongino, the FBI’s incoming reform teams are expected to be fully in place soon, enabling a sharper focus on the bureau’s renewed mission to uphold accountability. “Although the hiring process takes time, we are nearing completion. This will support the implementation of our reform agenda,” he said.
Cocaine Discovery in the White House Draws Scrutiny
The discovery of cocaine in the West Wing in July 2023 remains one of the most baffling cases. At the time, the Secret Service concluded that the culprit could not be identified. Bongino, however, has publicly disputed that outcome.
“I received dozens of communications from former Secret Service colleagues who are absolutely outraged. They insisted the agency knows exactly who brought the cocaine in,” he told The Daily Signal.
Bongino highlighted the security differences between the White House’s East and West Wings, emphasizing that access to the West Wing is strictly limited.
“There are likely fewer than 200 people who could have left the cocaine,” he explained. “The real question is not who did it, but who is preventing the truth from coming out.”
SCOTUS Leak and D.C. Pipe Bombing Revisited
The FBI is also revisiting the unresolved leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which sparked nationwide protests and raised serious concerns about the Court’s internal security.
Additionally, renewed attention is being given to the attempted pipe bombing near the Capitol on January 5, 2021 — an incident that remains unsolved more than four years later.
“These cases demand transparency and closure,” Bongino stated. “We receive regular briefings and are making measurable progress.”
Minimal Media Presence, Maximum Focus
Bongino noted that the FBI’s new leadership has intentionally limited its media appearances to prioritize internal reforms. “We’ve chosen to communicate primarily in writing to reduce distractions and misinformation. Our offices are secure facilities, so I can’t always respond to public feedback quickly — but I do read it,” he said.
He also issued a pointed appeal to his former colleagues in the Secret Service: “Do not let your agency become what the FBI was accused of becoming — politicized and distrusted.”
Speculation Around Hunter Biden
Without making definitive claims, Bongino alluded to public speculation involving Hunter Biden, noting that the President’s son was in the White House the weekend the cocaine was discovered.
“You have a known drug user with documented history present at the White House,” he said. “The question isn’t just about who did it, but who is shielding the truth.”
