The FBI is refocusing its attention on three major unsolved cases that have sparked nationwide outrage and raised serious concerns about political accountability and institutional integrity: the unsolved pipe bombing near the U.S. Capitol, the unexplained cocaine discovery inside President Joe Biden’s White House, and the unprecedented leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that led to the historic reversal of Roe v. Wade.

According to FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, the Bureau is pursuing “potential public corruption” in connection with each of these troubling incidents. Bongino revealed the move in a statement shared Monday morning on the social media platform X, confirming that he and FBI Director Kash Patel have either reopened or assigned additional resources to these stalled investigations.

“Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” Bongino wrote. “We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases. These cases are the D.C. pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case.”

The Deputy Director added, “I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress. If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us, please contact the FBI.”

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and conservative media figure, also explained the Bureau’s low media visibility since his and Patel’s appointments, saying the leadership team chose to prioritize substantive work over public relations.

“We decided early on to limit our media footprint overall in order to keep the attention on the work being done,” Bongino wrote. “There are both positives and negatives to this approach. We have chosen to communicate, in writing, on this platform to fill some of the inevitable information vacuums.”

He acknowledged public demand for transparency and assured readers that more information would be forthcoming: “In response to feedback, both positive and negative, from our interview last week, we will be releasing more information that will further clarify answers to some of the questions asked in the interview.”

The three investigations in question have been widely viewed as political hot potatoes, which may explain the prior lack of decisive law enforcement action.

On January 5, 2021, just one day before chaos erupted at the U.S. Capitol, pipe bombs were planted outside both the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters. The suspect was caught on surveillance footage walking through Capitol Hill neighborhoods with devices capable of inflicting serious harm—yet the FBI still hasn’t identified the person responsible, despite an expansive manhunt.

On July 2, 2023, the Biden White House was rocked by scandal when a bag of cocaine was discovered in a secure area of the West Wing, close to an entrance frequently used by tour groups and just steps from the Situation Room and Oval Office. While the Secret Service briefly investigated, no fingerprints or DNA were recovered, and surveillance footage yielded no suspect. The matter was quietly dropped, fueling speculation about a cover-up.

While hosting his popular talk show before joining the Bureau, Bongino said whistleblowers told him they were “suspicious” the drugs could be connected to someone in President Biden’s inner circle, including Hunter Biden, who has publicly admitted to past cocaine use.

The third unresolved scandal involves the May 2022 leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that ultimately led to the historic Dobbs ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the document’s authenticity, calling it an “egregious breach of trust.” Despite two separate investigations—one internal and one by federal authorities—the identity of the leaker remains unknown, and the case has largely faded from public discussion—until now.

The FBI’s renewed focus on these high-profile controversies signals a significant shift in federal law enforcement priorities under President Donald Trump’s administration. With Bongino and Patel at the helm, the Bureau appears poised to pursue long-overdue answers in cases that have long raised red flags about transparency, fairness, and political accountability in Washington.

As Bongino emphasized, “We are making progress.”
