FBI deputy director Dan Bongino’s years-old theory about cocaine found in the White House is resurfacing after the agency announced it would re-investigate the incident.
Bongino, who on Monday announced the new probe into the mystery drugs, previously alleged that there is “zero” chance the Biden family wasn’t involved in bringing the substance into the building.
“There’s absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex,” he posted on X two years ago.
“No chance that would make it past the mag/security checkpoints.
“Family bypasses those.”
Bongino posted his suspicions on X two years ago, following the discovery of a dime-sized bag inside a cubby near an entrance to the West Wing on July 2, 2023.
The substance inside the bag tested positive for cocaine, leading many people to allege that Biden’s son, Hunter, was responsible for it.
There is no evidence to suggest the drugs was linked to Hunter or any other member of the Biden family.
The former president’s son had previously struggled with crack cocaine addiction and was seen leaving the White House just two days before the drugs were found.
Hunter, 53 at the time, was visiting the Capitol to celebrate Independence Day with his family.
Despite his years of addiction, Biden’s youngest son says he’s completely sober.
“Makes sense. I cannot imagine a staffer bringing drugs into the White House, even in the Biden Admin,” one woman replied to Bongino’s post.
“That would be beyond idiotic.”
The Secret Service closed its investigation just 10 days after the drugs were found in 2023, citing a lack of evidence.
“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 agency said at the time.
In February 2025, Trump echoed Bongino’s hunch about the Biden family, questioning why there was no substantial proof found.
Trump assumed that there were usually “hundreds and even thousands” of fingerprints on the locker where the drugs were found, but there weren’t when investigators arrived.
“And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry,” Trump told The Spectator.
Since stepping back into the White House, Trump said he’s even more convinced “either Joe or Hunter” was behind the scandal.
While the owner of the mysterious bag of cocaine has yet to be named, that may be changing soon.
On May 26, Bongino announced that the FBI would investigate the case, along with a couple of other instances that displayed “potential public corruption.”
