Dan Bongino Makes Big Announcement on the Reopening and Reprioritizing of Key Biden-Era Investigations

[Red State] Last Wednesday, we reported on how fresh revelations surrounding the level of control convicted felon Hunter Biden had over his father, Joe Biden, during the last two years of the elder Biden's presidency had brought renewed attention to the infamous White House cocaine incident from the summer of 2023.

Information shared about the just-released Biden exposé "Original Sin" noted that Hunter Biden "was driving the decision-making for the family" in the final two years of his dad's presidency and "was almost like a chief of staff," according to the book's co-author, CNN's Jake Tapper.

Though there was widespread speculation that the cocaine said to be found "in a work area in the West Wing" on July 2, 2023 likely belonged to Hunter Biden, who has a well-documented history of cocaine addiction, the Secret Service closed their short-lived investigation into the matter on grounds that "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."

FBI to probe Biden White House cocaine incident, leaked Supreme Court abortion opinion
[USA Today] WASHINGTON − The FBI is looking into an incident of cocaine found in former President Joe Biden's White House in 2023, as well as the 2022 leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

Dan Bongino, the bureau's deputy director and former conservative talk show host, announced the probes in an X post on May 26. The decision to "re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention" to these cases was made together with FBI Director Kash Patel.

"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.
