Cases the FBI could look at are the Washington pipe bomb incident, cocaine found at the White House, and the leaking of a 2022 Supreme Court decision, he said.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Monday that the bureau is looking at launching investigations into cases of potential public corruption.
“Shortly after swearing in, [FBI Director Kash Patel] and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest,” Dan Bongino wrote in a post on social media platform X on Monday morning.

-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…
Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and radio host, added that they “made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.”
One case that they are looking to target is the FBI investigation into the alleged pipe bombs left near the Democratic and Republican national committee buildings in Washington a day before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach, he said.
The FBI said last year that a $500,000 reward is still in effect for information leading to the arrest of the pipe bomb suspect, and earlier this year, the former FBI assistant director in charge of the Washington office told CNN that officials are seeking new leads.
“Maybe allegiances have changed or relationships have changed, and it’s time to report” on the suspect, David Sundberg told the outlet.
“Tips from the public really have been very helpful but, as I mentioned, we’re still trying to identify the suspect. So we’re trying to release a little more information such that maybe it will jog somebody’s memory,” he said.
Other cases that warrant more resources include one involving the discovery of cocaine in the White House in July 2023 and the leak of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Bongino added.
