Overview

  • On May 26, 2025, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced that he and Director Kash Patel would reopen or allocate extra resources to three unresolved Biden-era probes.
  • The White House cocaine case dates to July 2023 when a small bag was found in a West Wing vestibule and was closed by the Secret Service after 11 days citing insufficient evidence.
  • A May 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs draft opinion triggered an eight-month internal inquiry that identified no suspect and will now be revisited by FBI investigators.
  • Two pipe bombs planted outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, remain unsolved despite released surveillance footage, a $500,000 reward and earlier FBI interviews.
  • Bongino has ordered weekly briefings and urged anyone with relevant information to contact the FBI, underscoring a push to advance these long-dormant cases.
