WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) - The FBI will launch new probes into the
2023 discovery of cocaine at the White House during President Joe Biden's
term and the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court's draft opinion overturning
Roe v. Wade, a top official announced on Monday.

Dan Bongino, a rightwing podcaster-turned-FBI deputy director, made the announcement on X, saying that he had requested weekly briefings on the
cases' progress.

Both incidents have been popular talking points on America's right.

The discovery of a small bag of cocaine in a cubby near the entrance to
the West Wing two years ago drew excited commentary from Republicans,
including Donald Trump, then the Republican presidential candidate, who
said it was implausible that the drugs could belong to anyone beyond Biden
and his son Hunter - even though the Biden family was away from Washington
at the time.

A White House spokesperson at the time said that the allegations were "incredibly irresponsible." A spokeswoman for Biden declined to comment on Monday about the new probe.

The May 2, 2022, opens new tab, publication of the Supreme Court's draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which ended the constitutional right to abortion, provoked condemnation from Trump, who
called the source of the leak "slime" and demanded that the journalists involved be imprisoned until they revealed who it was.

Previous investigations into both cases, by the Secret Service and the
Supreme Court, respectively, ended without identifying who was responsible
for the cocaine or the leak.

The Supreme Court and the Secret Service didn't immediately return
messages seeking comment on Monday.

Bongino has previously alleged, without presenting any evidence, that he
was in touch with whistleblowers who told him they were "suspicious" that evidence from the White House cocaine bag "could match a member of the
inner Biden circle."

Bongino also announced more resources for the FBI's investigation into the placement of pipe bombs at the Democratic National Committee and the
Republican National Committee in Washington in January 2021.

The bombs, which were later defused, had been planted the night before
Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in a failed bid to block
Congress from certifying Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential
election.

The perpetrator has never been publicly identified.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
