Deputy Director of the FBI Dan Bongino has announced he would reopen an investigation into the bag of cocaine found at former President Joe Biden’s White House in 2023.

“Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” Bongino wrote in a statement on Monday:

We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases. 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.

The small bag of cocaine made headlines in July 2023 after it was discovered by Secret Service in the West Wing of the White House.

While the Secret Service launched an investigation into the origin of the bag, it was closed after just 11 days, sparking uproar among conservatives and the media, who questioned whether the cocaine could have belonged to then-President Biden’s son Hunter Biden, who previously battled addiction to crack cocaine.

During an appearance on Fox News in April 2024, President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump suggested that President Biden could one day be indicted over the mysterious bag of cocaine.
