FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is reopening investigations into the mysterious 2023 White House cocaine discovery and other high-profile cases left unsolved by the previous administration.
See the tweet below.
After years of unanswered questions, the FBI is finally allocating proper resources to crack these cases that have sparked outrage among conservative Americans demanding accountability from government officials.
The agency disclosed plans to reexamine several politically charged cases, including the July 2023 discovery of cocaine at the White House, the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, and the pipe bombs placed near political party headquarters before the January 6 Capitol riot.
Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and popular conservative commentator recently appointed as FBI Deputy Director, is spearheading these efforts.
“Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” Bongino explained in his announcement of the new investigations.
The statement represents a significant shift in prioritizing cases that many conservatives believe were deliberately slow-walked or buried by previous FBI leadership.
The cocaine discovery at the White House in 2023 drew particular scrutiny from Republicans.
The substance was found in a highly trafficked area during the Independence Day weekend when the Biden family was away.
Despite this, President Trump and many Republicans questioned whether Hunter Biden was involved, given his documented history of substance abuse problems.
Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel are focusing on cases involving potential public corruption and have decided “to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases,” according to Bongino’s statement.
This announcement follows persistent criticism from House Republicans about the Secret Service’s decision to close the cocaine investigation without identifying a suspect.

The Supreme Court leak investigation is equally significant. In May 2022, Politico published a leaked draft opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which ultimately led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Regardless of an internal Supreme Court investigation, the leaker was never identified; shockingly, no justices were interviewed during the probe.
House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (LA) previously condemned the leak, stating: “Yesterday’s unprecedented leak is an attempt to severely damage the Supreme Court.”
Many conservatives viewed the leak as a deliberate attempt to intimidate justices and incite public pressure before the final ruling was issued.
In addition, the third case being reopened involves pipe bombs placed outside both the Democrat and Republican National Committee offices in Washington, D.C., the day before January 6, 2021.
Even with video evidence and a $500,000 reward, the FBI has failed to identify the bomber in four years, raising serious questions about the Bureau’s effectiveness and priorities.
Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to the news tepidly, stating, “We have confidence that they will get to the bottom of this.”
Her statement starkly contrasts with the administration’s previous dismissal of concerns about these cases.
Ultimately, the renewed investigations represent a victory for conservatives who have long demanded transparency and accountability from federal law enforcement agencies.
With Bongino and Patel now leading the FBI, Americans may finally get answers to questions that the previous administration seemed determined to leave buried.
