FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced a renewed investigation into the 2023 discovery of cocaine at Joe Biden’s White House. Bongino shared on X that the FBI is reopening or allocating additional resources to several cases, including the cocaine probe. Two years ago, a small bag of cocaine found in a cubby near the West Wing entrance sparked widespread speculation about its owner.

Two days after Hunter Biden, a recovering addict, departed with President Joe Biden and family for the Fourth of July weekend in 2023, cocaine was found at the White House. The Secret Service closed its investigation in under two weeks, citing insufficient evidence, as security footage failed to identify the owner. “Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered,” the Secret Service stated. The Biden family was not in Washington when the cocaine was discovered. The White House strongly denied claims linking the cocaine to any Biden family member.
