The Secret Service is investigating cocaine
Former President Trump took aim at the Biden family following the discovery of cocaine at the White House over the weekend.
In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, he wrote, “Does anyone truly believe that the COCAINE discovered in the West Wing of the White House, near the Oval Office, is intended for anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden?”

He further theorized, “However, mark my words, the Fake News Media will soon claim that the quantity found was ‘very small’ and that it wasn’t actually COCAINE, but rather ordinary crushed Aspirin. Then, they will swiftly move on from the story.”
The former president then shifted his focus to Special Counsel Jack Smith, who recently indicted him on charges related to classified documents. Trump questioned if Smith had been spotted near the drugs, claiming that he “looks like someone addicted to crack cocaine!”

In the past, the former president has criticized Smith, referring to him as a “manipulated puppet” for Attorney General Merrick Garland and President Biden. Trump suggested that Smith should have his funding revoked and be removed from his position.
He further asserted, “Why aren’t there security recordings from the White House, similar to the ones I willingly provided to the misguided Jack Smith? These tapes would quickly reveal the origin of the cocaine in the White House. They already know the truth, but perhaps they don’t like it!”
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House regarding Trump’s comments, but no immediate response was received.
The Department of Justice declined to provide any comments on the issue.
A member of the Secret Service discovered the cocaine in the West Wing of the White House, specifically in an area used by guests and staff. This finding prompted the evacuation of the building and an emergency response.
Both President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, were at Camp David when the substance was found.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre informed reporters on Wednesday that the location where the substance was found is frequently used by visitors to the West Wing of the White House. However, she did not have any additional details to provide.
Jean-Pierre mentioned that the Secret Service is currently investigating the matter, and the White House expresses confidence in the agency’s ability to determine what occurred. She emphasized that President Biden considers it crucial to uncover the truth behind the incident.
