The Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched a fresh investigation into the discovery of cocaine in Joe Biden’s White House.
Dan Bongino, the security service’s deputy director, said he had requested weekly briefings on the case's progress.
The former New York Police Department officer decided to “reopen” an inquiry into the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe vs Wade in 2022.

-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…
He and Director Kash Patel have also chosen to “push additional resources and investigative attention” to hunt down the suspects who planted pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican national committees hours before the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021.
On Monday, Mr Bongino posted on X, formerly Twitter: "Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest.
“If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI.”
The discovery of a small bag of cocaine near the West Wing’s entrance in 2023 led to numerous theories about who it belonged to.
President Donald Trump speculated in February that the cocaine belonged to his Democratic predecessor or second son Hunter — who had previously struggled with drug addiction.
Last year, Hunter was convicted of lying about his illegal drug use to buy a gun, making him the first child of a sitting US president to be convicted of a crime.

The Biden family was in Camp David, Maryland at the time to mark Independence Day.
At the time, a White House spokesman said the allegations were “incredibly irresponsible”.
The FBI wrapped up an investigation into the discovery without identifying a suspect “due to a lack of physical evidence”.
Meanwhile, a leaked report published by POLITICO into the Supreme Court's controversial decision to end the constitutional right to abortion in 2022 prompted an inquiry from Chief Justice John Roberts.
But after eight months of consultation, Marshal of the Supreme Court Gail Curley said that she and the court’s police force had been unable to identify the whistleblower.
Mr Trump called the source of the leak “slime” and demanded that journalists involved be imprisoned until they revealed who it was.
