The FBI has relaunched investigations into three major cases: the 2023 cocaine discovery in the White House, the unsolved Jan. 5, 2021 pipe bombs near DNC/RNC headquarters and the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
The decision follows GOP criticism of the FBI's prior handling of these cases, with Deputy Director Dan Bongino suggesting potential new leads or whistleblower testimony could advance the probes.
Despite initial Secret Service efforts, no suspect was identified in the 2023 cocaine incident, fueling speculation (including from Trump) about ties to Hunter Biden. The case was closed due to insufficient evidence.
The FBI's failure to solve the January 2021 pipe bomb case – despite video evidence and a $500K reward – has spurred conspiracy theories about deliberate provocation or security failures, contrasting with the bureau's swift action in other politically sensitive cases.
The 2022 Dobbs draft opinion leak, which led to Roe's overturn, remains unsolved after an internal SCOTUS probe. The FBI's renewed focus suggests potential federal intervention, though no new evidence has been revealed.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced the reopening of investigations into three prominent cases: the 2023 discovery of cocaine in the Biden White House, the unsolved pipe bombs planted outside the Democratic and Republican headquarters prior to the Jan. 6 false-flag Capitol riot and the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade. The decision announced on X by FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino Monday, May 26, comes amid mounting pressure from Republican lawmakers who have long criticized the bureau's handling of these cases. Its renewed scrutiny also raises questions about whether new leads or whistleblower testimony, as Bongino has vaguely alluded to, could provide fresh momentum. The cocaine incident, which unfolded over the Fourth of July weekend in 2023, sparked immediate controversy when a small bag of the substance was found in a heavily trafficked area of the White House. Despite an initial Secret Service investigation, no suspect was identified and the case was closed due to a lack of physical evidence. GOP figures, including incumbent President Donald Trump, have repeatedly insinuated at the time that the drugs could be linked to then-presidential son Hunter Biden.

A litmus test for the bureau

Equally perplexing is the FBI's stalled investigation into the pipe bombs discovered outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters on Jan. 5, 2021 – just a day before the Capitol riot. Despite a $500,000 reward and video evidence of a suspect, the case remains unsolved. (Related: Trump takes aim at FBI over January 6 pipe bomb mystery: Deep State coverup exposed?) This lack of resolution has fueled conspiracy theories about whether the explosives were a deliberate provocation or an overlooked security failure. Critics argue the bureau's sluggish progress contrasts sharply with its rapid response to other politically sensitive investigations, drawing parallels to historical controversies like the FBI's handling of Watergate. The third case – the unprecedented leak of the Supreme Court's draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization – remains a stain on the high court's reputation. Published by POLITICO in May 2022, the leak triggered a firestorm, with conservatives accusing liberal factions of attempting to intimidate the justices. It eventually resulted to the overturn of the Roe abortion ruling after 49 years. An internal Supreme Court investigation failed to identify the culprit, leaving lingering doubts about judicial integrity. The FBI's renewed focus suggests federal authorities may pursue avenues beyond the court's internal probe, though no new evidence has been disclosed. Bongino, second in command to FBI Director Kash Patel, emphasized that these cases represent "potential public corruption" deserving of additional resources. His appeal for public tips underscores the challenges investigators face in resolving long-dormant inquiries. Yet skeptics question whether the bureau's actions are driven by genuine investigative needs or political optics, particularly given the timing amid heightened election-year tensions. As these cases reenter the spotlight, they serve as a litmus test for the FBI's credibility under its current leadership. Whether the renewed efforts yield answers or further deepen public distrust remains to be seen. For now, the bureau's next steps will be scrutinized by those demanding accountability and those wary of partisan influence in law enforcement alike.
