The FBI is zeroing in on “potential public corruption” tied to three explosive scandals: the unsolved D.C. pipe-bombing, the cocaine discovered inside Joe Biden’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced.
Taking to X on Monday morning, Bongino said he and FBI Director Kash Patel have decided to “re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention” into the three cases—signaling a renewed push to expose what he called deeply buried corruption at the highest levels.
“Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest. We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases,” Bongino wrote
“These cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case. 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 then please contact the FBI,” he added.
Bongino then addressed why he and Patel are not doing much media. “The Director and I have done only one media interview together. We decided early on to limit our media footprint overall in order to keep the attention on the work being done.
“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. I try to read as much of your feedback as possible but the workday is busy, and my office is a SCIF with limited phone access,” he said.
“In response to feedback, both positive and negative, from our interview last week we will be releasing more information which will further clarify answers to some of the questions asked in the interview,” Bongino noted.
The assistant director also revealed that “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 finish line. This will help us both in doubling down on our reform agenda.”
