FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced Sunday that the FBI will once again investigate important cases all but ignored under then-President Joe Biden's administration, Axios reported. The cases include the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court's draft decision on Roe v. Wade and cocaine found at the White House in 2023.
The cases Bongino has promised to focus on are a long time coming for conservatives. The investigation into the leak of the 2022 Dobbs decision was never solved, nor was the identity of whoever left cocaine in what's likely the most secure building in the United States.
Bongino will also look at the source of the pipe bombs discovered on Jan. 6, 2021. With President Donald Trump in the White House and appointments like Bongino and FBI director Kash Patel, it seems Americans will finally get the answers they deserve.
Thanks for following this account and allowing us to update you about what we’re doing at your FBI. A few updates:
-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…
— Dan Bongino (@FBIDDBongino) May 26, 2025
Bongino's commitment to pursuing justice for investigations left unsettled came by way of an update. "A few updates: -The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week," Bongino said of Patel in his post to X, formerly Twitter.
The deputy director wrote about hiring decisions for their "reform agenda" and which cases would take priority. "Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest," Bongino wrote.
"We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases. These cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case," Bongino announced.
"I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress. If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI," he urged.
Bongino noted that he and Patel would "limit our media footprint overall in order to keep the attention on the work being done." However, he is interested in the public's cooperation and has promised more updates. "Thank you for all of your support. God bless America and all those who defend Her," he concluded.
The cases receiving a fresh look were consequential, but somehow remain unsolved. In the leak of the Supreme Court decision, NBC News reported that the source of the leaker was never found despite the relatively few people who would have had the chance to do so.
As Justice Samuel Alito noted, the leak "made those of us who were thought to be in the majority in support of overruling Roe and Casey targets for assassination, because it gave people a rational reason to think they could prevent that from happening by killing one of us." With such high stakes, it was crucial to determine the source of the leak, but none was identified.
In the case of the cocaine at the White House, it's difficult to comprehend how a place so secured and so surveilled can also be a location where illegal drugs can be dropped without consequence. If nothing else, the FBI should at least find out why that is.
The Jan. 6 pipe bombs similarly left an astonishing lack of leads despite the FBI's ability to track down others who happened to be in the vicinity of the Capitol on the day of the riot. Yet according to CBS News, they don't know who planted bombs outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the Republican National Committee headquarters that day.
It's about time for the FBI to take another look at these cases and find some fresh leads that could provide the answers the American people deserve. Even if nothing comes of it, this bombshell announcement demonstrates that the Trump administration is willing to do whatever it takes to restore trust.
Before dawn on Wednesday, a tumultuous incident erupted among the ranks of the U.S. Secret Service, casting a spotlight on continuing concerns about behavior and discipline in the agency's Uniformed Division.
Reports indicated that two female officers, stationed outside former President Barack Obama's Washington, D.C., residence, engaged in a physical confrontation reportedly sparked by frustrations over scheduling.
Details of the early morning altercation reveal that around 2:30 a.m., a dispute arose outside the home of former President Obama. The incident involved two female officers of the Secret Service Uniformed Division. Issues allegedly began when one officer's replacement was late for duty, leading to heightened tensions.
As the disagreement intensified, the officer who was upset over the delay reportedly escalated the situation by contacting her supervisor. This communication occurred over a recorded line, highlighting the urgency of her request for assistance before matters became physical.
The officer, clearly agitated, is noted to have said she needed help "immediately before I whoop this girl's ass," reflecting the intensity of the emotions and frustration at play in this scenario.
Despite the severity of the incident, it is important to note that the commotion did not disrupt the Obama household or the peace of the surrounding neighborhood, according to reports.
This altercation is not an isolated occurrence for the agency, which has been under scrutiny due to similar incidents in recent years. Last year, an altercation involving Michelle Herczeg and the security detail of Vice President Kamala Harris also spotlighted issues within the same division.
The consistent exposure of such events in the public eye continues to highlight the pressing need for reform in the agency known for its utmost discretion and professionalism.
Agents and officers have engaged in discussions regarding this incident, broadening the debate on appropriate conduct and discipline standards expected within their ranks.
The Secret Service has grappled with matters concerning discipline, professionalism, and issues related to substance use. To address these ongoing challenges, former President Donald Trump appointed Sean Curran as the new director earlier this year.
The leadership change seeks to address these systemic issues and improve the agency's reputation and operational effectiveness. However, the incident involving the two officers underscores the complexity and depth of issues that need to be tackled.
The question of disciplinary action remains unresolved. According to reporting from RealClearPolitics' Susan Crabtree, it is not yet clear if either officer sustained injuries or if disciplinary measures have been implemented following the altercation.
Within the Secret Service, this episode is expected to undergo an internal review, part of the agency's standard disciplinary process. The outcome of this review will likely influence how similar incidents are managed in the future.
As scrutiny continues, the agency must confront both public and internal expectations to maintain a standard of professionalism and accountability. These evaluations are vital for restoring trust and operational integrity.
Kentrell Flowers, the man who attempted to carjack two U.S. Marshals who were working a security detail for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, learned his fate this week in court.
According to Law and Crime, Flowers, 19, was sentenced to 120 months in a federal prison for the crime.
He pleaded guilty earlier this year to "one count of using, carrying, possessing, and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence," and made headlines in the process not only for who he tried to carjack, but also what happened as a result.
Flowers was ultimately shot in the face as the carjacking attempt concluded.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Leon handed down the sentence this week, along with a five-year supervised release.
The attack made headlines given that Justice Sotomayor was the person being protected by the U.S. Marshals security detail.
Law and Crime noted:
According to court documents filed in Washington, D.C., federal court, the incident took place at about 1:17 a.m. on July 5, 2024, in the 2100 block of 11th Street Northwest, which is just outside of Sotomayor’s home. Two deputies were parked in separate unmarked U.S. government vehicles when a silver minivan “stopped directly next to” one of them.
The criminal complaint filed in court provided additional details.
"As the silver van stopped, an individual later identified as Kentrell Flowers, got out of the van, approached the Complainant’s driver’s door, and pointed a firearm directly at the [deputy] through the front driver’s side window," the criminal complaint read.
It added, "The [deputy] pulled out his department issued firearm and fired approximately four times at Defendant Flowers through the window, striking Flowers in the mouth."
Not surprisingly, the shot fired through the window at Flowers resulted in the criminal dropping immediately to the ground.
Deputies quickly provided Flowers first aid. A second deputy had fired at Flowers but didn't strike him, according to court documents.
Law and Crime added:
One of the deputies grabbed the gun Flowers had been holding and later identified it as a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson. The weapon had no rounds chambered and eight rounds remaining in the 13-round capacity magazine.
After being shot in the face and then sentenced to 120 months in a federal slammer, it's safe to say Flowers presumably has plenty of time to think about all of the regrets he has.

A suspect in a vicious shooting attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum that left a young, soon-to-be-married, couple dead has been charged with murder.
A report from ABC revealed Elias Rodriguez, 31, of Chiago, was taken into custody at the scene.
A criminal complaint said the two counts of murder were based on his actions in firing 21 times at the young couple, staff members of the Israeli Embassy, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.
Reports revealed the viciousness of the attack, in which after shooting the couple, the gunman followed one victim who was crawling away and repeatedly shot again and again.
An Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said Lischinsky was a researcher in the political department of the Israeli Embassy, while Milgrim organized U.S. missions to Israel.
The network report detailed, "Rodriguez allegedly walked past the two victims and then 'brandished a firearm from the area of his waistband,' court documents said. He is captured on video 'extending both his arms in the direction' of the victims, and began firing 'several times," the documents said."
The report said the suspect continued firing at the victims after they fell to the ground.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "My heart aches for the families of the beloved young man and woman, whose lives were cut short by a heinous anti-Semitic murderer. I have instructed to increase security arrangements at Israeli missions around the world and security for representatives of the state."
In Washington, police said there would be an increased presence by officers at schools and Jewish community centers.
Kristi Noem, the U.S. secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said on social media, "We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share. Please pray for the families of the victims. We will bring this depraved perpetrator to justice."

A suspect arrested while screaming "Free, free Palestine" in the ambush shooting deaths of a Jewish couple in Washington, D.C., has been linked to an extremist organization that advocates the demise of capitalism and the rise of socialism.
The organization, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, at one point acknowledged shooting suspect Elias Rodriguez as a member, but now is frantically issuing statements that he no longer is with the group, and they have not heard from him in years.
A report in the Washington Examiner identified Rodriguez as the suspect arrested for the shooting deaths of Israeli embassy staff members Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum late Wednesday.
The report said Rodriguez was featured in an Oct. 25, 2017, article for Liberation, the PSL's newspaper, titled "Chicago Demands Justice for Laquan, Not Money for Amazon."
Its focus is a protest outside the residence of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel over an Amazon business deal, and the death of Laquan McDonald.
"The wealth that Amazon has brought to Seattle has not been shared with its Black residents," Rodriguez claimed at that time, linking the death of McDonald and Amazon plans.
"[Amazon's] whitening of Seattle is structurally racist and a direct danger to all workers who live in that city. So do we in Chicago and all across the country want a nation of cities dominated and occupied by massive corporations where only the rich and white can live and the vast majority of us must live on the edges of the city and society living in deeper and deeper poverty?"
The page was taken down but still appeared in an archived version on the Wayback Machine.
PSL responded to reporting of the link immediately.
"We reject any attempt to associate the PSL with the DC shooting. Elias Rodriguez is not a member of the PSL. He had a brief association with one branch of the PSL that ended in 2017. We know of no contact with him in over 7 years. We have nothing to do with this shooting and do not support it," the party said.
President Donald Trump reacted with a rejection of the violence.
"These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW! Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA. Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen! God Bless You ALL!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The two embassy workers were leaving at event at the Capital Jewish Museum when attacked by a suspect who apparently was Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago.
Reports said Rodriguez apparently was seen pacing back and forth outside the museum before he approached a group of four, which included the two victims.
He began shooting.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino called the attack an "act of terror" and said, "Last night's act of terror has the full attention of your FBI. Targeted acts of anti-Semitic violence are typically carried out by spineless, gutless cowards. And the penalties will be harsh as we tighten up this investigation and run down any additional leads. I should have additional updates for you shortly as I head back to FBI HQ."
Tal Naim Cohen, of the Israeli embassy, told Fox News, "We have full faith in law enforcement authorities on both the local and federal levels to apprehend the shooter and protect Israel's representatives and Jewish communities throughout the United States."
Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, said the deadly shooting was a "depraved act of anti-Semitic(sic) terrorism" in a social media statement.
"Harming diplomats and the Jewish community is crossing a red line. We are confident that the US authorities will take strong action against those responsible for this criminal act. Israel will continue to act resolutely to protect its citizens and representatives – everywhere in the world," he wrote.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement from his office, said he was outraged.
"Doctor" Jill Biden should face criminal charges for elder abuse, according to one Trump administration official.
Leo Terrell, a former Fox News contributor and current lawyer at the Justice Department's civil rights division, argued Jill Biden is guilty of "elder abuse" in the wake of her husband's shocking cancer diagnosis.
During Joe Biden's presidency, the former first lady was often accused by critics of exploiting her aging husband for her own selfish purposes.
Following her husband's pivotal debate performance on CNN last year, which effectively ended his political career in one stroke, she infamously told Biden that he "answered every question," as if he were a child.
Jill Biden is under more scrutiny than ever as her family's former media allies finally begin reporting critically on Joe Biden's cognitive decline, and the effort to conceal it.
Some have even suggested Jill Biden knew about or possibly overlooked her husband's prostate cancer in the pursuit of political power.
Terrell responded to a post on X that claimed Jill Biden "knew about President Biden’s health problems” but “still wanted him to run for President.”
“Elder abuse! Criminal charges??” Terrell wrote.
The initial outpouring of sympathy that followed from Biden's cancer announcement has been replaced by broad skepticism.
Many have questioned how the aggressive, stage four cancer was not caught earlier. Before his recent diagnosis, Biden's last known prostate cancer screening was in 2014, according to his office.
Some have wondered aloud if the Biden family withheld the diagnosis from the public or even timed the news strategically to quash the recent scrutiny of the former president.
As President Trump put it, "Somebody is not telling the facts.”
The speculation is not limited to Trump and his following. Democrat Dean Phillips, who challenged Biden in 2024, said the timing of the cancer news looks suspicious.
“I don’t think it’s coincidental that this was announced this week,” Phillips told The New York Times in an interview published Monday.
Biden's White House doctor, Kevin O'Connor, has also fallen under scrutiny for certifying that Biden was "fit for duty" as recently as last year.
The famously close-knit Biden family, meanwhile, continues to put on a united front.
“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places," Biden wrote on X, quoting Ernest Hemingway.
"Thank you for lifting us up with love and support,” the post read.
According to the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver is facing assault charges following a confrontation with federal officers outside of an immigration detention facility.
According to a social media post by Interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, McIver is facing charges of assault, obstruction, and interference with law enforcement. However, the court documents that would provide more details regarding these charges were not immediately made public or released online.
Rarely do federal criminal charges other than fraud or corruption land a sitting congressman in court, as in the case of McIver, as The Hill reported.
"It’s political intimidation, and I’m looking forward to my day in court,” she said Tuesday. McIver had called the charges “purely political” in a statement on Monday night and said she looked forward “to the truth being laid out clearly in court.”
She continued by stating that she and her coworkers were reacting to inappropriate behavior by law enforcement.
“Earlier this month, I joined my colleagues to inspect the treatment of ICE detainees at Delaney Hall in my district. We were fulfilling our lawful oversight responsibilities, as members of Congress have done many times before, and our visit should have been peaceful and short," the lawmaker said.
"Instead, ICE agents created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation when they chose to arrest Mayor Baraka,” she said.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche came to Habba’s aid in a statement on X, saying that “assaults on federal law enforcement will not be tolerated.”
Newark mayoral candidate Ras Baraka was arrested on May 9, along with McIver and two other House Democrats, but Habba says her office has withdrawn the trespassing charges against him.
"After extensive consideration, we have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka's misdemeanor charge of trespass for the sake of moving forward," Habba said.
I echo what @USAttyHabba has made clear: assaults on federal law enforcement will not be tolerated. This Administration will always protect those who work tirelessly to keep America safe. https://t.co/v8bMYwtY7i

After the DOJ filed the charges against the Democrat for her alleged assault on police officers, Republican Representative Nancy Mace made the announcement that she had submitted a resolution to oust McIver from Congress.
According to Mace, "Mclver didn't just break the law, she attacked the very people who defend it.
"Attacking Homeland Security and ICE agents isn't just disgraceful, it's assault. If any other American did what she did, they'd be in handcuffs.
McIver thinks being a member of Congress puts her above the law. It doesn't. She should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

This story was originally published by the WND News Center.
A longtime Democrat who was nominated by President Donald Trump for post in the civil rights division of the Department of Justice, Leo Terrell, has released a cryptic statement about Jill Biden and her liabilities for pushing husband Joe Biden into the presidency, and then into a run for a second term.
"Elder Abuse! Criminal Charges??" Terrell posted on his personal X page, atop a reference from another posting that said, "She knew about President Biden's health problems. But still wanted him to run for president. Evil."
That issue has blown up in just the past few days after Joe Biden made an announcement that he has been diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer, a cancer that experts say mostly is detectable early in its development.
This follows the evidence that has become more and more apparent of his mental decline, including the release of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur during that official's investigation of Biden, revealing Biden literally reduced to long silences and erratic answers when asked questions about his own actions.
It was not the only elder abuse comment that has surfaced. Personality Terrence K. Williams joined the conversation.
As did other commentators, including Clay Travis.
A report at the Gateway Pundit pointed out Terrell, senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights, "took to social media to express his concerns, reposting a tweet from a conservative commentator and adding his own commentary: 'Elder Abuse! Criminal Charges??'"
"Terrell's implication was unmistakable: Jill Biden may have knowingly concealed her husband's serious health decline during his presidency and subjected him to undue stress by propping him up for another grueling presidential campaign—all for political gain," the report said.
The report noted, "According to presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, Jill Biden is the main reason Joe Biden ran again in 2024. Brinkley appeared on Face the Nation and explained that Jill Biden doesn't want to relinquish the power that the Bidens have spent years trying to gain and even said that she wants some kind of 'revenge' against the people who wronged them or stood in their way."
WND reported nearly a year ago, at the presidential race debate between President Donald Trump and Joe Biden, after which Biden was forced out of the race by his own party, "Joe Biden's performance in the presidential debate this week revealed him to be a senior citizen without a firm grasp on thought, words, or policy. Even facts.And there's one person to blame for the situation that involved a senior American politician becoming a laughingstock. Jill Biden."
That's according to U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., who was quoted in a report by the Cowboy State Daily that, "What Jill Biden and the Biden campaign did to Joe Biden tonight — rolling him out on stage to engage in a battle of wits while unarmed — is elder abuse, plain and simple."
"She explained, "We've seen Biden mumble and misstep his way through three-and-a-half years of this presidency and no amount of lies or distortion of facts will distract voters from sending him permanently back to Delaware on Nov. 5. Joe Biden has failed … for over 50 years. It is time to put him out to pasture so that we can reclaim our country."

Federal charges are being filed against U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver, a Democrat from New Jersey, who pushed her way into a melee when protesters were trying to disrupt operations at a detention center run by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Obstruction and interfering are included.
But the situation is just a symptom, more or less, of a bigger agenda by the Democrats, according to constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University who has not only testified before Congress as an expert on the nation's founding law, but has represented members in constitutional disputes in court.
He explained the "new defense" being used by Democrats, from city council to Congress, is that "their official duties include obstructing the official functions of the federal government."
"The latest claimant of this license is Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a protest at Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. McIver is shown on video forcing her way into an ICE facility and striking and shoving agents in her path," he said.
He said officials were able to subdue the incursion quickly.
But the messaging from McIver was that she could do what for other citizens would be "trespass and assault" because of her "legislative oversight" privileges as a member of Congress.
Her comments were a reprise of what other Democrats already have demanded.
"Rep. Alexandria Ocacio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) declared 'You lay a finger on someone – on Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the representatives that were there – you lay a finger on them, we're going to have a problem,'" the report noted.
And Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., "ominously warned the federal government that Democrats would bring down the house if it tried to charge McIver."
He said, "It's a red line. They know better than to go down that road."
The ACLU insisted that politicians "have every right to exercise their legally authorized oversight responsibilities for expanded immigration detention in New Jersey."
Turley explained Worcester City Councilor Etel Haxhiaj, in a video shoving and obstructing ICE officers, also claimed to be protecting a constituent.
"Even judges are claiming the same license. In Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan has been charged with obstructing a federal arrest of an illegal immigrant who appeared in her courtroom. Dugan heard about agents waiting outside in the hallway to arrest the man and went outside to confront the agents. She told them to speak to the Chief Judge and that they needed a different warrant. The agents complied and the Chief Judge confirmed that they could conduct the arrest. In the interim, however, Dugan led the man out a non-public door and facilitated his escape."
The fault in making the "oversight" claim is that the law does not allow even members of Congress to have unauthorized access to secure federal facilities. Members of Congress can subpoena the executive branch, or get a court order, but they "do not have immunity from criminal laws in unilaterally forcing their way into any federal office or agency."
Another fight on the same battlefield is the vandalism being done to Tesla vehicles, because company owner Elon Musk is working with President Donald Trump.
"When the administration sought to investigate those burning Teslas and dealerships, Rep. Dan Goldman (D., N.Y.) denounced it as a 'political weaponization' of the legal system. The comments suggest that such arson is somehow a form of political expression on the left," Turley noted,
He explained Jeffries cited the crossing of a "red line."
The "red line" actually crossed, however, is the one "separating political expression and criminal conduct," he said.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are facing fierce criticism for asserting convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein indeed killed himself in jail, and also downplaying concerns about the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Maria Bartiromo of Fox News on "Sunday Morning Futures" asked both officials why many Americans don't buy the government assertion that Epstein committed suicide in a New York City holding facility.
"They have a right to their opinion," Patel said, "but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who's been in that prison system, who's been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that's what that was."
Bongino said: "He killed himself. I've seen the whole file. He killed himself."
Regarding the case of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Bartiromo asked both officials why many Americans don't buy the government assertion that Epstein killed himself in a New York City jail.
"I call bullsh**," said Infowars host Alex Jones.
"Overall, I think Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are doing a great job, but on this claim that Epstein's death is not a cover-up I call bullsh**."
Jones posted a lengthy comment on X, indicating: "EPSTEIN confirmed a suic*de? Maria sits down with FBI's Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, who claim Epstein did, in fact, commit suic*de. Now, let's get into why people do not believe this theory."
Number one, Maurene Comey, Fmr. disgraced FBI Dir. James Comey's daughter was in charge of Epstein's alleged suic*de investigation, which isn't a good start, and Maurene allegedly lost the jailhouse CCTV tapes as a result of a technical error.
Then on top of the "lost/erased tapes," through a "technical error," both security guards "fell asleep," who were supposed to be watching Epstein's cell, who was on 24hr surveillance for suicide watch which is standard procedure in every jail and being a high-profile prisoner.
There are rumors and a video you can search which claims nitrous oxide was used to knock the guards out, which then Epstein was taken out by another individual. Others claim the guards were paid not to talk.
Either way, for the tapes to mysteriously go missing or erased and to have not one, but TWO guards both fall asleep coincidentally, the odds of both of these happenings to occur at the same time in the same place are astronomical.
We know the Comey's are corrupt. James Comey just sent out a dogwhistle to have our sitting president assassinated. Why do you think he would do that? What [do] Comey, the Clintons, and the Obamas all have to hide? Are you paying attention to Trump's recent posts? Are you starting to connect the dots? Remember, there are no coincidences.
Regarding the two attempts on Trump's life, Patel cited two reasons for the lack of specific details released.
"Two open, ongoing prosecutions," he said. 'Two of the investigations are obviously closed because the individuals are dead, but there's two live prosecutions … so we can't get ahead of the federal court case."
"We have personally invested our time in making sure that we have looked at any possible international connections to terrorism and adversaries alike."
"Kash is not kidding," said Bongino. "We've been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget, tendril of this case."
He said he's aware many feel the federal government is hiding something about the assassination attempts.
"I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear. I'm going to tell you the truth, and whether you like it or not is up to you," Bongino explained.
"In some of these cases, the 'there' you're looking for is not there. And I know people, I get it, I understand. It's not there. If it was there, we would have told you."
Jim Hoft at the Gateway Pundit reported: "This is a stunning reversal from Bongino's previous whistleblowing on Secret Service failures. Just last year, he blew the lid off the culture of corruption in the Secret Service."
"Thomas Crooks was able to do the following on July 13:
The Gateway Pundit added: "Meanwhile, new court documents were released that reveal would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh was in talks to purchase a Stinger Missile to take out Trump here in the U.S.
"A Stinger missile reportedly costs from $119,000 to $120,000. A Stinger missile costs anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 on the black market. … [C]ourt documents reveal that Routh was communicating with someone he 'believed to be a Ukrainian with access to military weapons.'"
