This needs to investigated further.
In a soon to be released book, All the President’s Money: Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes that Made the Biden Family Rich, Kentucky Congressman James Comer has revealed startling details about the White House cocaine scandal. Comer, who led a Republican investigation into the incident, claims the probe was sabotaged after the Secret Service allegedly destroyed crucial evidence.
According to Comer, the investigation into the cocaine found in the White House was hindered when “the little plastic bag that contained the cocaine was destroyed a few days after it was discovered.” He also pointed out that the surveillance footage, which could have provided key clues, “amazingly” failed to capture the specific location of the discovery. This lack of physical evidence and video footage led to the eventual abandonment of the investigation, raising serious concerns about the transparency and accountability of the Secret Service.
The cocaine was discovered during a routine sweep of the White House on July 2, 2023, in a vestibule of the West Wing. The powder was found in a clear plastic bag, prompting a brief evacuation of the White House as a precaution. At the time, President Biden was at Camp David with his family. The discovery occurred near an area where visitors and staff members leave their phones in cubbyholes before entering secure areas.
The investigation, led by the Secret Service, quickly ran into roadblocks. After just 11 days, the agency closed the case, citing a “lack of physical evidence” as the reason for their failure to identify a suspect. The FBI and other agencies were reportedly unable to uncover any leads, leaving many unanswered questions.
Tucker Carlson, in his newsletter, further criticized the handling of the situation, suggesting that the Secret Service might have been working to protect the Biden administration from embarrassment. Carlson echoed Comer’s claims that the destruction of evidence could explain why the investigation abruptly ended without a suspect.
Rep. Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has been vocal about the need for accountability. “The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable,” Comer said in a statement following the discovery. “This is a shameful moment in the White House’s history, and the American people deserve answers.”
As questions about the Secret Service’s role continue to mount, many Republicans are calling for additional investigations and hearings. The handling of this incident by the Secret Service raises troubling questions about the level of security and oversight at the highest levels of government. With no clear resolution in sight, the demand for greater transparency and accountability is likely to intensify.
