The FBI has officially reopened its investigation into the bag of cocaine that was discovered inside the White House during President Joe Biden’s term, citing renewed concerns about public corruption. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed the decision Tuesday, saying that both he and the Director reviewed multiple cases shortly after taking office and decided to re-prioritize those with national significance.

“Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption,” Bongino posted on X. “We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.” Along with the cocaine probe, the FBI is also revisiting the January 6 Capitol pipe bomb investigation and the leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.

The White House cocaine story initially made waves in July 2023, when Secret Service agents reported discovering a white powdery substance near the West Wing entrance. The FBI’s lab later confirmed it was cocaine, but no fingerprints or usable DNA could be recovered. The case was closed without identifying a suspect, prompting accusations of a cover-up.

Former President Trump weighed in at the time, expressing skepticism over the official narrative. In an interview with The Spectator, Trump noted that the evidence appeared to have been wiped clean. “When they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry,” he said.

While the Bidens were reportedly at Camp David during the incident, speculation swirled about whether Hunter Biden—who has a well-documented history of drug use—might have had any connection. The White House never publicly addressed those allegations, but online chatter and conservative influencers kept the story alive.

Bongino’s statement suggests the new probe is driven by broader accountability concerns, not just scandal. He emphasized that tips from the public are welcome and that progress is already being made. “I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress,” he wrote.

Critics of the original investigation pointed out that the White House is one of the most secure buildings in the world, with surveillance and restricted access zones monitored constantly. Yet no suspect was ever named, and officials claimed the evidence was too degraded to match with any individual.

This renewed push by the FBI will likely raise fresh questions about the integrity of past probes under the Biden administration. It also signals that the Trump administration is taking a hard line on transparency and law enforcement, particularly when it comes to allegations of corruption and misconduct at the highest levels of government.

Whether or not the reopened investigation yields new answers remains to be seen, but it’s clear the case is no longer being quietly swept under the rug. As Trump himself hinted last year, “You know something’s up when they rush to close it before anyone asks too many questions.” Now, those questions are back—louder than ever.
