The FBI is investigating “potential public corruption” tied to three high-profile cases—the D.C. pipe-bombing, the discovery of cocaine at President Joe Biden’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision—according to Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
Bongino announced Monday morning on social platform X that he and FBI Director Kash Patel had decided to “re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention” toward all three investigations.
“Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” he wrote on the X platform in a lengthy update.
“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,” he added.
He went on to explain why he and the director “have done only one media interview together” since arriving at the FBI.
“We decided early on to limit our media footprint overall in order to keep the attention on the work being done,” he said. “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 [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] with limited phone access. 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 further.
