FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino Issues Update on Reform Agenda and High-Profile Investigations

Washington, D.C. — FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino provided a detailed update to the public this week via a post on his official account, highlighting key steps being taken to reform the Bureau and revive several high-profile investigations that have drawn national attention.

Bongino, who was appointed earlier this year alongside the new FBI Director, opened his message by thanking followers for their engagement and support, and provided insight into the Bureau's evolving internal structure.

“The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week,” Bongino wrote. “The hiring process can take a little bit of time, but we are approaching that finish line.”

High-Profile Cases Revisited

In a major development, Bongino announced that he and the Director had evaluated several unresolved or stagnant investigations and decided to allocate renewed attention and resources to them. These include:

• The D.C. Pipe Bombing Investigation (linked to the January 6th Capitol events)

• The Cocaine Discovery at the previous administration’s White House

• The Supreme Court Dobbs Leak, which preceded the landmark decision overturning Roe v. Wade

“We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases,” Bongino stated. “I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress.”

The FBI is actively seeking public assistance and has encouraged individuals with credible tips to come forward.

Low Media Profile, Direct Public Communication

Bongino also touched on the Bureau’s approach to public communication. He noted that both he and the Director have intentionally limited their media exposure, opting instead for written updates through official channels.

“There are both positives and negatives to this approach,” he said. “We have chosen to communicate, in writing, on this platform to fill some of the inevitable information vacuums.”

While acknowledging the flood of feedback—both positive and critical—Bongino reaffirmed the Bureau’s commitment to transparency. In response to public interest following a recent joint interview, more clarifications will be published soon.

A Call for Support and Vigilance

In closing, Bongino expressed gratitude to Americans who support law enforcement and national security efforts.

“Thank you for all of your support. God bless America and all those who defend Her.”

This latest update marks a significant shift in tone and focus for the Bureau, as it seeks to rebuild public trust and address unresolved controversies head-on.
