FBI Launches New Probes Into White House Cocaine Incident and Supreme Court Leak
The FBI is reopening—and growing—a series of investigations that have stirred outrage among Republicans and MAGA figures.
Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, said the agency is doubling its efforts to examine “potential public corruption” by relaunching probes into the 2023 discovery of cocaine in Joe Biden’s White House, the still-unsolved 2021 D.C. pipe bomb case and the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson opinion, which ultimately led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“We made the decision to either reopen or push additional resources and investigative attention to these cases,” Bongino posted on X Monday. “I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly, and we are making progress.”
The Secret Service closed its investigation on July 12, citing the lack of fingerprint or DNA evidence meant they could not “single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals” who passed through the area, where visitors leave their phones and other belongings, on the day the cocaine was found.
The FBI is also digging into the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the decision that ended the constitutional right to abortion. The draft was published by Politico in May 2022, sparking nationwide protests and political backlash.
The Supreme Court launched an internal investigation, calling it “one of the worst breaches of trust in its history,” but failed to identify the leaker.
Trump expressed frustration that the cases remain unsolved.
