FBI reopens investigations into Biden era controversies

In May 2025, the FBI announced a renewed investigation into three significant unresolved cases from the Biden administration. These cases specifically relate to incidents that have captured the public's attention due to their implications. The first case is the discovery of cocaine in the White House in July 2023. This incident gained notoriety when a bag containing the illicit substance was found in a cubby near the West Wing entrance. A Secret Service investigation concluded with no clear suspects due to a lack of usable evidence, which drew considerable public criticism. The agency's failure to identify who left the cocaine sparked outrage and speculation, particularly surrounding the involvement of President Joe Biden’s family due to Hunter Biden's well-publicized history of substance abuse. The second case involves the planted pipe bombs located outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters on January 5, 2021, a day before the Capitol riot. Despite extensive investigations, including video analysis and a monetary reward for information, law enforcement has made little progress in identifying the individual responsible for placing the functional devices. The FBI hopes renewed efforts will yield new leads, especially with their recent release of additional video footage. Lastly, there’s the inquiry into the leak of a Supreme Court opinion in May 2022 that ultimately led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The initial investigation by the Supreme Court failed to uncover the source of the leak despite interviewing nearly 100 personnel. All three cases are now receiving fresh scrutiny as FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino emphasizes the importance of public interest and possible corruption associated with these incidents. The decision to re-examine these high-profile cases aims to regain public trust in the investigative process and ensure accountability in the wake of growing political tensions.
