Key Takeaways
- Trump suspects Joe or Hunter Biden left cocaine in the White House.
- Fingerprints on the cocaine bag were removed, complicating the investigation.
- Trump pledges to further probe the incident despite closed investigations.
- The Secret Service reportedly destroyed evidence soon after its discovery.
- House Oversight Chairman Comer’s probe was abandoned amid claims of interference.
Trump Accuses Biden Family
President Trump has publicly suggested that “either Joe or Hunter” Biden is responsible for the cocaine bag found in a West Wing locker in July 2023. Trump, unwavering in his stance, has reiterated his intention to scrutinize the circumstances surrounding the bag’s presence in the White House. Despite the destruction of the plastic bag by the Secret Service, he claims to have credible reasons for his suspicion.
During the incident, President Biden and his family were at Camp David, although reports indicate that Hunter Biden, who has been open about his previous struggles with crack cocaine addiction, resided at the White House for some time. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between Trump’s camp and the Biden administration.
Extent of Investigations
The initial investigation into the cocaine discovery, led by the Secret Service, was concluded in just 11 days, citing insufficient evidence. Approximately 500 people were considered as potential suspects, but without fingerprints or significant DNA findings, the case remains unresolved. FBI forensic testing also failed to yield any viable leads.
As Chairman James Comer stated, “I had to abandon the probe I led into the cocaine found at the Biden White House because the Secret Service destroyed the little plastic bag that contained the cocaine a few days after it was discovered.” This statement underpins the alleged interference that led to his decision to drop the investigation, further fueling Trump’s commitment to looking deeper into the matter.
A Demanding Investigation
During a recent interview, Trump expressed concern, stating, “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.” When pressed further, the president emphasized that the bin in question appeared unusually pristine, “absent of all evidence.” Such a statement from Trump underscores his belief that something untoward occurred.
For Trump and many of his allies, this investigation is a matter of accountability and transparency within the current administration. The lingering questions have not just faded from public discourse; they remain a focal point in the ongoing political dialogue.
