the Secret Service has put an end to their probe into the cocaine incident at the White House, without pointing fingers at any individuals. This unexpected conclusion has led to a wave of disbelief among lawmakers, with some even suggesting a possible cover-up.
The decision was made public last Thursday, after an exhaustive analysis of video surveillance and visitor records. An insider, who chose to remain anonymous, revealed to NBC News that the most plausible explanation is that the drugs were left behind by a visitor touring the White House.
The Secret Service, in their official statement, mentioned, “The investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered.” Despite multiple federal labs testing the bag of cocaine, no usable fingerprints or DNA were found.
Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN) voiced his frustration with the investigation’s conclusion, stating, “Just left the most ridiculous meeting of all time with the Secret Service on the cocaine that was found in the White House. It turns out – they don’t know who did it. The investigation is going to be over at the end of the week, and they’re not going to find out who did it. And that’s basically it.”
Burchett further criticized the situation, calling it “another coverup” and pointing out the stringent security measures at the White House. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) also expressed skepticism, questioning whether the list of 500 potential suspects had been drug tested.
The Secret Service reported that surveillance footage did not provide any investigative leads. The exact time and day of the cocaine drop remain unknown. Charles Marino, a former Secret Service agent and current CEO of Sentinel Security, suggested that the location of the cocaine should have allowed investigators to narrow down the timeframe of when the substance was left.
The location where the cocaine was found has been reported differently multiple times, including various places in the West Wing and in a library. The Secret Service is scheduled to give a classified briefing to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
Speculation has been rife that the cocaine could have belonged to Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, who has a history of drug addiction and has been seen at the White House recently.
