FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has revealed that the agency is actively revisiting three significant cases of potential public corruption that were left unresolved during the Biden administration.
These cases, which have garnered substantial public interest, include the planting of pipe bombs in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, the 2022 leak of the Supreme Courts draft ruling on abortion, and the discovery of cocaine at President Joe Bidens White House in 2023.
In a recent post on X, Bongino stated that he, along with FBI Director Kash Patel, has decided to either reopen these cases or allocate additional resources and investigative focus to them. "I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress," Bongino noted, urging the public to provide any tips to the FBI. The Daily Caller News Foundation reported that the FBIs press office did not respond to their request for comment on the matter.
The first case under renewed scrutiny involves the pipe bombs discovered at the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters on the day of the January 6 Capitol riot. Despite the FBI releasing surveillance footage of the bombs being planted the day before, no arrests have been made in over four years. This lack of progress has led to congressional inquiries about the bureau's effectiveness and transparency in handling the investigation.
The second case pertains to the 2022 leak of a draft opinion from the Supreme Court regarding the Dobbs v. Jackson case. This leak, published by Politico, sparked illegal protests outside the homes of Supreme Court justices, an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and widespread calls for accountability. Although the Supreme Court conducted its own investigation, it concluded in January 2023 without identifying the leaker.
The third case involves the discovery of cocaine in the White House shortly after a visit from President Bidens son, Hunter, in July 2023. Hunter Biden has a history of substance abuse, and the incident raised questions about security and accountability within the White House.
President Donald Trump expressed his desire for transparency, stating in February that he wanted to uncover the truth behind the incident after the Secret Service concluded its investigation without identifying a suspect.
Bongino also announced forthcoming changes within the FBI, with new hires for "reform teams" expected to join by next week. This move is part of the broader reform agenda initiated under President Trump, aimed at enhancing the agency's operations and accountability. "This will help us both in doubling down on our reform agenda," Bongino stated in his post.
These developments underscore the ongoing efforts to address unresolved issues from the previous administration, reflecting a commitment to transparency and accountability in government operations. As these investigations progress, the public remains keenly interested in the outcomes and the implications they may have for the current administration and beyond.
