The FBI has initiated a new inquiry concerning the puzzling find of cocaine within President Joe Biden’s White House, an incident that led to a full evacuation of the premises.
Americans were left stunned when officials abruptly squashed concerns after the dime-sized bag was found in 2023.
Dan Bongino, the FBI’s deputy director, announced several probes that he decided showed signs of “potential public corruption,” on Monday.
“We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention to these cases,” he wrote on X.
Bongino noted that ongoing cases include the investigation into the DC pipe bombing, the cocaine incident at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs case.
He further elaborated that he received weekly updates on the FBI’s advancements in these investigations and encouraged those familiar with the situations to provide any helpful information.
Mystery still hangs in the air after the cocaine was discovered inside a cubby near an entrance to the West Wing commonly used for tours on July 2, 2023.
Just 10 days after the discovery, the Secret Service closed its investigation into the shock find, saying there was no surveillance footage that led them to a suspect.
“Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered,” the agency said at the time.
Many lawmakers felt the case could be cracked wide open if investigators found who had access to the cubby.
