In a stunning development that marks a clear departure from the prior administration’s handling of politically sensitive cases, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced Monday that the bureau is actively revisiting three high-profile investigations that had remained unresolved for years. Bongino, who assumed his role under President Donald Trump’s second term, revealed via X (formerly Twitter) that the cases involve the January 6 pipe bombs, the 2022 Supreme Court draft opinion leak, and the unexplained bag of cocaine discovered in the Biden White House in 2023.
One of the most alarming unsolved mysteries of January 6, 2021, was the discovery of pipe bombs near the headquarters of both the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee.
Surveillance footage released in the aftermath showed a hooded individual planting devices the night before the Capitol riot. Despite this, no suspect has been identified or arrested—now more than four years later.
Thanks for following this account and allowing us to update you about what we’re doing at your FBI. A few updates:
-The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week. The hiring process can take a little bit of time, but we are approaching that…

Congressional critics and watchdogs have long accused the Biden-era FBI of slow-walking or even stonewalling progress on this investigation. Bongino’s decision to revive this case comes amid mounting calls for accountability and clarity over whether this potential act of domestic terrorism was fully pursued.
In 2022, the unprecedented leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion—Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization—rocked the nation. The leak triggered protests, security threats, and even an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Though the Supreme Court conducted its own internal probe, the result in 2023 was a dead end. No leaker was identified, and no consequences were imposed.
Critics have long speculated whether the Biden Justice Department was reluctant to dig deeper due to political sensitivities around abortion. Bongino’s renewed interest signals a dramatic shift, suggesting that federal investigative muscle may now be brought to bear on what many saw as a betrayal of judicial integrity.
Perhaps the most bizarre and brazen of the three cases is the July 2023 discovery of cocaine inside the White House—mere days after Hunter Biden, known for his prior addiction, had been on the premises. Despite massive security measures and surveillance, the Secret Service closed its investigation without naming a suspect. The non-resolution drew sharp criticism from conservatives and former President Trump, who called the closure “a cover-up.”
Bongino’s update signals that the matter is far from closed for the new FBI leadership. With public confidence in federal law enforcement still recovering, a transparent investigation could reveal whether this incident was an egregious security failure or something more serious.
