The FBI is reopening its investigation into the mysterious bag of cocaine discovered at the Biden White House, an overdue move now being pursued under President Trump’s leadership as his administration works to restore transparency and accountability in Washington.
On July 2, 2023, a dime-sized bag of cocaine was found near the West Wing entrance, triggering a security response and temporary evacuation. Despite the presence of surveillance cameras and access logs, the Secret Service under the Biden administration abruptly ended its probe just 11 days later without naming a single suspect. The media moved on quickly, and the public was left in the dark.
Now, under President Trump’s watch, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino—himself a former Secret Service agent—has ordered a full-scale reopening of the case. According to Reuters, Bongino cited public corruption concerns and demanded weekly briefings on multiple unresolved scandals, including the White House cocaine incident, the Dobbs Supreme Court leak, and the January 6 pipe bomb investigation.
“The American people deserve to know what’s going on inside their own government,” Bongino said, signaling a new era of accountability.
Fox News confirmed that the cocaine was discovered inside a “small plastic bag” in a cubby area near the West Wing used by both staff and guests. The building was immediately evacuated, and the substance tested positive for cocaine. The incident briefly dominated headlines before Biden officials went silent, and the Secret Service closed the investigation without explanation.
Then-President Trump, still a private citizen at the time, was among the first to raise alarms. He questioned whether Hunter Biden—who has a public history of drug abuse—was involved and criticized the Biden administration’s evasiveness. While no evidence ever directly tied the drugs to Hunter or Joe Biden, the lack of cooperation from the White House only fueled speculation and public distrust.
According to The Daily Beast, Bongino’s reopening of the case is part of a broader crackdown on “public corruption at the highest levels.” The move is one of several initiatives now underway under Trump’s second term, aimed at exposing the institutional rot left behind by the previous administration.
The Guardian notes that the new investigation could include interviews with individuals previously cleared by the Biden-era Secret Service and may incorporate fresh forensic testing of evidence mishandled or ignored during the initial probe.
