The explosive revelations surrounding Hunter Biden’s influence over his father, President Joe Biden, in the final years of his administration are now reshaping the public’s understanding of one of the most peculiar and politically charged incidents of that era: the White House cocaine discovery. The resurfaced scrutiny comes amid the release of Original Sin, a political exposé co-authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper, and a major new announcement from FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
According to Original Sin, Hunter Biden wasn’t merely a troubled family member battling addiction—he was a central decision-maker, effectively acting as a “chief of staff” within the Biden inner circle. Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson describe him as “driving the decision-making for the family,” especially during the turbulent final two years of Joe Biden’s presidency.

-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…

This claim has jolted fresh attention to the July 2023 West Wing cocaine incident—an episode the Secret Service quickly declared unsolved. The official explanation at the time was that investigators couldn’t identify the person responsible due to a lack of physical evidence and heavy foot traffic in the area.
But critics, including former Secret Service agent and now FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, never bought that line.
“There’s absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex,” Bongino stated flatly, citing White House security protocols that exempt family from standard screening procedures.
With Bongino now in a leadership position at the FBI under President Trump, the narrative has taken a sharp turn. In a post shared on X, Bongino confirmed that the agency is not only revisiting the cocaine discovery but also reprioritizing two other unsolved scandals from the Biden era:
-
The January 6, 2021 pipe bombings near the RNC and DNC.
-
The May 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in the Dobbs case.
In Bongino’s words: “Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption… We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention to these cases.”
He confirmed that progress is being made and that he receives weekly briefings on the trio of investigations. Bongino also urged the public to contact the FBI with any tips.
Although it is now unlikely that Hunter Biden could face federal charges—even if he were found responsible—due to Joe Biden’s sweeping pardon covering the period from 2014 to December 1, 2024, the question is no longer just about the cocaine itself. The deeper concern is whether federal agencies, under pressure from White House operatives, orchestrated a cover-up to avoid public scandal.

If the reopened probe uncovers manipulation, misdirection, or deliberate suppression of evidence, attention could pivot to other figures in the Biden-Harris White House who might not enjoy the legal shield of a presidential pardon. And while the media once brushed off the scandal as an unsolved curiosity, it may now stand as a symbol of a larger pattern: concealment, corruption, and unchecked influence at the highest levels of government.
