Last Wednesday, we reported on how fresh revelations surrounding the level of control convicted felon Hunter Biden had over his father, Joe Biden, during the last two years of the elder Biden's presidency had brought renewed attention to the infamous White House cocaine incident from the summer of 2023.

Information shared about the just-released Biden exposé "Original Sin" noted that Hunter Biden "was driving the decision-making for the family" in the final two years of his dad's presidency and "was almost like a chief of staff," according to the book's co-author, CNN's Jake Tapper.

Though there was widespread speculation that the cocaine said to be found "in a work area in the West Wing" on July 2, 2023 likely belonged to Hunter Biden, who has a well-documented history of cocaine addiction, the Secret Service closed their short-lived investigation into the matter on grounds that "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."

At the time, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino pointed out that the White House has thorough security measures that would ensure no one outside of someone who could sidestep White House security (like a family member) would be able to get drugs through:

There’s absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex. No chance that would make it past the mag/security checkpoints. Family bypasses those.

So it is perhaps with that and the new details on Hunter Biden's hold over Joe Biden in mind that Bongino, who is now President Donald Trump's FBI Deputy Director, announced the reopening and/or reprioritizing of three key Biden-era investigations: the cocaine incident, the investigation into the January 2021 DC pipebomb plantings, and the investigation into the May 2022 leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which effectively overturned Roe v. Wade when it was officially announced in June that same year.

In a post shared to Twitter/X, here's what Bongino wrote about the investigations:

-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.  

-Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest. 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.

Considering Joe Biden's "full and unconditional" pardon of his son, Hunter, covers the period from January 2014 to December 1, 2024, it's unlikely federal charges could be brought even if it is discovered that it belonged to Hunter. That said, it's still worth having the investigation because if it's also determined that (yet another) cover-up took place, perhaps other bad-faith actors in the Biden-Harris White House potentially could feel the heat in a court of law.

As always, stay tuned.
