Overview

  • The FBI has reopened investigations into three unresolved incidents from the Biden administration: a cocaine discovery in the West Wing in July 2023, the May 2022 leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and pipe bombs placed near the DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021.
  • Conservative lawmakers and right-wing commentators had repeatedly spotlighted these politically charged cases, increasing pressure on the bureau to deliver results.
  • Deputy Director Dan Bongino and Director Kash Patel reassigned investigative resources to these probes and have instituted weekly briefings to track progress.
  • Previous inquiries by the Secret Service and the Supreme Court marshal closed without identifying responsible parties due to insufficient forensic evidence and lack of actionable leads.
  • The FBI has appealed to the public for tips and bolstered investigative manpower in hopes of advancing these stalled investigations.
