On Monday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said that the agency would investigate three well-known cases from the Biden administration.
“Shortly after swearing in, (FBI Director Kash Patel) and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” he stated on X.
The conservative social media star Bongino, who was nominated by President Donald Trump in February for the position, stated Monday, “We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.”
The 2022 leak of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to revoke women’s 50-year-old right to choose an abortion worldwide, the 2023 finding of cocaine in the White House, and the 2021 pipe bombings in Washington, D.C. will all see their cases reopened by the government.

During the last days of the first Trump administration, on or around January 5, 2021, two pipe bombs were planted outside the national headquarters of the Democratic and Republican parties. The identity of the suspect is still unknown.
The leak of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 draft opinion in the Dobbs ruling, which overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, was the second FBI case that Bongino reopened. This was the first time the high court had ever leaked a draft opinion.
“This was a singular and egregious breach of trust that is an affront to the court,” Chief Justice John Roberts stated at the time.

The U.S. Secret Service dropped the probe after around 11 days, and Bongino concluded by mentioning the July 2, 2023, cocaine discovery at the Biden White House.
A list of “several hundred” potential suspects was reduced by investigators due to “insufficient” DNA samples found in the bag.
According to Bongino, “I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly,” and FBI officials are “making progress.”
