The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is probing three Biden-era cases linked to public corruption, Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced.
In a statement shared on X Monday morning, Bongino said he and FBI Director Kash Patel “evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest.” He said they have “made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.”
The cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the discovery of cocaine in the White House under the Biden administration, and the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.
“I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress,” Bongino wrote.
The first case described by Bonginto pertains to the January 6, 2021, incident where authorities discovered pipe bombs near the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C.
In 2022, an unknown individual leaked the draft opinion of the Dobbs decision. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito later said he had a “pretty good idea who is responsible, but that’s different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody.”
“It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft … from becoming the decision of the court,” he explained. “And that’s how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside — as part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court.”
In 2023, cocaine was discovered at the White House. The narcotic was reportedly found in a “cubby hole in the entry area of the West Wing where visitors place electronics and other belongings before taking a tour,” according to a source cited by Reuters.
The Secret Service closed its investigation after eleven days, claiming there was a “lack of physical evidence.”
