Back on the Radar: FBI Reopens Three Major Biden-Era Mysteries

What Happened

The FBI has reopened investigations into three high-profile incidents from the Biden administration. These cases had previously gone unresolved and are raising new questions about transparency, accountability, and law enforcement priorities.

The first case involves a bag of cocaine found in the West Wing in July 2023. The small bag was discovered in a storage cubby used by visitors. Despite being one of the most secure buildings in the country, the Secret Service closed the case after ten days. They cited insufficient evidence, surveillance gaps, and no usable fingerprints.

The second is the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade. The leak in May 2022 was unprecedented and led to protests, threats against justices, and intense national debate. A Supreme Court investigation later stated it could not determine who was responsible.

The third is the case of pipe bombs placed outside the DNC and RNC headquarters on January 6, 2021. The bombs were found before they detonated and did not cause harm, but the threat was serious. Surveillance footage of a suspect has been released, but no arrests have been made.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed that the bureau is reexamining all three cases. They said they now have renewed resources and weekly progress updates.

Why It Matters

Each of these incidents touches on different branches of government: the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative. Yet all three remain unresolved years later. This raises concerns about investigative follow-through and consistency in high-stakes political environments.

In the case of cocaine, the core issue is security. How a controlled substance entered the White House – and why no one has been held responsible – highlights potential weaknesses in visitor screening and surveillance.

The Dobbs leak put the inner workings of the Supreme Court under public scrutiny, revealing vulnerabilities in a system that’s supposed to operate independently and without political pressure. Although the leak didn’t change the outcome, it did erode public confidence in the Court’s confidentiality and sparked a wave of nationwide unrest.

The pipe bomb investigation speaks to public safety and law enforcement preparedness during one of the most turbulent days in recent political history. Despite early media attention and a sizable reward, the case has largely faded from public view, until now.

How It Affects Readers

While these cases may not be front-page news anymore, they do carry real implications. Should the renewed investigations lead to credible results, they could restore some trust in the FBI’s ability to remain nonpartisan and effective.

For voters, these developments serve as a reminder that unresolved issues can linger, and that accountability often takes far longer than expected.

At the very least, reopening these cases ensures they won’t quietly disappear. And that matters.
