The FBI is looking into a number of cases related to “potential public corruption.” The agency’s deputy director, Dan Bongino, made the announcement on X, writing the agency is either reopening or shifting resources toward the Biden-era cases.

“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,” Bongino posted on X on Monday. “We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.”

In the post, Bongino shared which cases will be looked into first — the DC pipe bombing investigation from 2021, the cocaine discovery during the Biden administration in 2023 and the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs case.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts at the time said the leak of the majority draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade “was a singular and egregious breach of trust that is an affront to the court.”

Political analyst Madeline Summerville said she believes the investigations could help win back American confidence.

“Let’s restore trust into the FBI by getting answers to questions that the people want,” Summerville said.

Earlier this month, Bongino and Patel sat down for their first joint interview with Fox News. Both directly addressed their plan to rebuild trust in the FBI.

“First of all, our priorities. Simple. Crush violent crime. Defend the homeland. Rigorous organizational accountability,” Patel said.

“I know when Kash and I are sitting there in the morning, that is the single motivating factor for us is keeping the homeland safe,” Bongino added.

During his confirmation hearings, Patel said improving the public’s view of the bureau has to start with increased transparency.

But while these investigations could be a step in the right direction, Summerville said they could also be a way to detract attention from other pressing topics.

“It’s part of his (Trump’s) attempt to both restore trust and to divert attention away from the problems that they’re having with passing the ‘big beautiful bill,’ ” Summerville said.

Bongino said in his post that he has been receiving briefings on each of these cases every week and the agency is making progress. He also urged anyone with information about the cases to contact the FBI.
