Trump reveals who he believes left infamous bag of cocaine at White House

The Accusation: Trump Points Finger at Biden Family

In a recent interview at the White House, former President Donald Trump made a controversial claim, suggesting that either Joe Biden or his son, Hunter Biden, was responsible for leaving a bag of cocaine discovered in 2023 at the White House. When asked by Ben Domenech of The Spectator about who might have left the cocaine, Trump replied, "Well, either Joe or Hunter. Could be Joe, too." This accusation comes despite the Biden family not being present at the White House at the time of the discovery. The Bidens were reportedly staying at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, and only returned to the White House on the Tuesday after the cocaine was found.

The Discovery and Investigation

The bag of cocaine was found on July 2, 2023, in a storage locker near the entrance to the West Wing of the White House. The discovery was made by the Secret Service, which subsequently launched an investigation. However, the probe was unable to identify a suspect, as surveillance footage did not provide any leads, and the area where the cocaine was found is high-traffic, with hundreds of people passing through daily. The Secret Service also noted that the locker containing the cocaine had been wiped clean with a strong alcohol solution, making it difficult to lift fingerprints or other evidence.

Biden Family’s Involvement and Alibis

The Biden family, including Joe and Hunter Biden, has denied any involvement in the incident. At the time of the discovery, the Bidens were indeed not at the White House, as confirmed by former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. During a press conference in July 2023, Jean-Pierre emphasized that the Biden family was at Camp David and did not return to the White House until the following Tuesday. She called any suggestion of their involvement "incredibly irresponsible."

Hunter Biden, in particular, has faced scrutiny due to his well-documented history of substance abuse, which he detailed in his 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things. However, he has reportedly been sober since 2019, as stated in sworn testimony in federal court in 2023. Despite this, Trump’s accusation appears to draw on Hunter Biden’s past struggles, implying a connection to the discovery of the cocaine.

Trump’s Statements and Plans for Further Investigation

Trump expressed strong opinions about the discovery during the interview, describing it as a "terrible thing" and questioning the thoroughness of the Secret Service’s investigation. He noted that the storage lockers near the West Wing entrance are typically "loaded" with fingerprints, but in this case, the locker containing the cocaine was "wiped out with the strongest form of alcohol," suggesting an intentional effort to remove evidence. Trump also hinted that he might look into the matter further, saying, "I think I’m going to look into that because it was… bad stuff happened there." However, he did not elaborate on what specific actions he might take.

Reactions and Lack of Response from Biden’s Team

The Biden family and their legal team have not publicly responded to Trump’s accusations. When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, neither Biden’s office nor Hunter Biden’s legal team provided a statement. The Secret Service, in closing the investigation, stated that without physical evidence, it was impossible to identify a suspect from the hundreds of individuals who had access to the area where the cocaine was found. The agency concluded that the case could not be pursued further.

Conclusion: A Mystery Without Resolution

The discovery of cocaine at the White House and the subsequent investigation have left more questions than answers. While Trump has pointed fingers at the Biden family, there is no concrete evidence to support his claims. The Secret Service’s inability to identify a suspect, combined with the Bidens’ confirmed absence from the White House at the time, has only deepened the mystery. As the matter stands, it remains an unsolved and politically charged incident that continues to generate speculation and debate.
