FBI Launching New Probe Into Supreme Court Roe v Wade Leak
The FBI is reopening investigations into two high-profile controversies from President Joe Biden’s tenure: the 2023 discovery of cocaine at the White House and the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino — a former Secret Service agent and conservative commentator — announced the renewed probes Monday on X, stating he has ordered weekly updates on the progress of both cases.
The May 2, 2022, publication of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ultimately overturned the constitutional right to abortion, sparked a firestorm of backlash. Then-former President Donald Trump condemned the leak in harsh terms, branding the source as “slime” and calling for the journalists involved to be jailed until they disclosed the leaker’s identity.

The discovery of a small bag of cocaine in a storage cubby near the West Wing entrance two years ago set off a wave of speculation from Republicans. Trump dismissed any other possibility, claiming it was “obvious” the drugs had to belong to President Biden or his son Hunter, even though the Biden family wasn’t in Washington at the time.
The White House blasted the allegations as “incredibly irresponsible.” On Monday, a spokesperson for Biden declined to comment on the renewed investigation.
Previous investigations into both cases by the Secret Service and the Supreme Court ended without identifying the responsible parties for the cocaine or the leak.

Bongino previously noted during his time as a talk show host that whistleblowers had contacted him with concerns that evidence from the cocaine found at the White House might implicate someone within President Biden’s inner circle.
Bongino also announced that the FBI will allocate additional resources to its ongoing investigation into the placement of pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington in January 2021.
The explosive devices, which were safely defused, were planted the night before a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.

“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 on the X platform. “We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.
“These cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case. 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 added.
He also addressed why he and FBI Director Kash Patel have limited their media appearances.

“The Director and I have done only one media interview together. We decided early on to limit our media footprint overall in order to keep the attention on the work being done. 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,” he wrote.
“I try to read as much of your feedback as possible but the workday is busy, and my office is a SCIF with limited phone access. In response to feedback, both positive and negative, from our interview last week we will be releasing more information which will further clarify answers to some of the questions asked in the interview,” he noted further.

“The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week. The hiring process can take a little bit of time, but we are approaching that finish line. This will help us both in doubling down on our reform agenda,” the Deputy FBI Director said.
