Mystery Cocaine Found Near the White House: Trump Shares His Theories
In July 2023, the Secret Service launched an investigation after a small bag of cocaine was discovered in a cubby near the White House’s West Wing entrance. The incident, which occurred on July 2, raised eyebrows due to the high-profile nature of the location.
The cubbies, typically used by visitors for storing personal items during White House tours, are accessible to a wide range of people—hundreds, in fact. With no security camera footage to provide any clues, the investigation was left with few leads. As the mystery unfolded, the Secret Service ultimately closed its inquiry, unable to determine who the drugs belonged to.
However, former President Donald Trump wasted no time in offering his own theories about the situation.
Trump Suggests Biden Family Tied to Cocaine Discovery at White House
During a recent interview with Ben Domenech published in The Spectator World on February 28, former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on the mysterious discovery of cocaine at the White House. When asked, “So… who actually left the cocaine in the White House?”, Trump quickly pointed fingers at President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, suggesting they might be involved.
“Well, either Joe or Hunter [Biden],” Trump said without hesitation. “Could be Joe, too.”
It’s worth noting that at the time of the discovery, President Biden and his family were at Camp David, far from the White House.
Trump didn’t stop there. He continued, critiquing the security measures in place for storing belongings in the cubbies: “OK, so that was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up with… they’re not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints. And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry. You know that, right?” He further emphasized, “And there were fingerprints. I mean, if you went to one, maybe we’re cleaner, but if you went to one at any time, you would see hundreds. Everybody in there would leave a fingerprint when they went in and that thing was wiped out with, with the strongest form of alcohol.”
At the time, the Secret Service conducted advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis on the cocaine, but their efforts were unsuccessful, with no latent fingerprints or sufficient DNA for further comparisons.
Trump concluded his remarks by saying he planned to look into the situation further, adding, “Bad stuff happened there.”
