FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has announced a new initiative aimed at releasing previously restricted information about several high-profile cases, a move intended to improve public trust and increase transparency within the agency.
In a recent statement posted to social media, Bongino said the FBI has already begun sharing documents and evidence with members of Congress and the public regarding cases that have generated widespread public interest.
These include the 2017 attack on Congressman Steve Scalise, the 2023 Nashville school shooting, the internal investigation known as Crossfire Hurricane, and early investigations into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We understand the public has questions and concerns about how these cases were handled,” Bongino wrote. “We’re working to respond in a responsible and secure way that respects both the public’s right to know and the privacy of those involved.”
