FBI’s Dan Bongino Will Reopen White House Mystery That Spawned Trump Accusations
HuffPost
Bongino said the case was tainted by “potential public corruption.”
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced Monday that the agency is reinvestigating the case of the cocaine found at the White House in 2023 ― an incident that prompted Donald Trump to wildly speculate that the drug belonged to then-President Joe Biden or his son, Hunter Biden.
Among other unsolved cases tainted by “potential public corruption,” Bongino wrote, the FBI will also revisit the pipe bombs planted outside the Democratic and Republican Party headquarters the night before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, and the leak of the Supreme Court’s 2022 overturning of federal abortion protections.
In July 2023, the Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in a cubby used by visitors and staffers at the White House, triggering unfounded guesses about the source. Trump accused both Hunter Biden and Joe Biden of snorting the stash. But the Secret Service said it could not identify the culprit and dropped the case.
Renewed interest in the matter is likely no coincidence after Trump exploited the controversy during his candidacy.
“Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden,” he wrote on Truth Social that summer.
