The FBI is investigating “potential public corruption” in three well-known cases that include the D.C. pipe-bombing probe, cocaine found at President Joe Biden’s White House, and a leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, Deputy Director Dan Bongino said.
Bongino took to social platform X on Monday morning to say he and FBI Director Kash Patel decided to “re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention” toward the three cases.
“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.
“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.”
Bongino also explained why he and Patel “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.
