Bongino announces reviews of 3 unsolved mysteries: WH cocaine, SCOTUS leak on Roe, Jan. 6 pipe bombs

Three major unsolved mysteries are being reviewed by the FBI, according to Deputy Director Dan Bongino. 

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, NYPD officer and conservative commentator, posted on X that he and FBI Director Kash Patel have decided to “either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention” to the leak of a draft of a Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, the discovery of cocaine in the West Wing of the White House in 2023, and the planting of pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican national committees shortly before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to the New York Post. 

“I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress,” Bongino added in his post. “If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI.”

After the cocaine was discovered, the Secret Service ended the investigation after just 11 days, without naming a suspect, citing a lack of physical evidence and of cameras in the area. 

The leaked draft of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in the Dobbs case appeared in Politico in May 2022. While Chief Justice John Roberts ordered an investigation, it ended after eight months after they said they were unable to identify the leaker. 

And on the night of Jan. 5, 2021, someone dropped two pipe bombs outside Republican and Democratic headquarters in the nation’s capital. They didn’t detonate, but cameras captured the image of the perpetrator. While the surveillance footage was released, and there remains a $500,000 reward offered, no one has been identified, as the suspect’s face was covered at the time.  

There was, and continues to be, a lot of interest in all three of these cases.
