Staff Reports
President Joe Biden found himself in hot water on Wednesday as he dodged questions about the recent discovery of cocaine on the White House grounds. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to downplay the incident, stating that the administration had no official comment on the matter. However, a law enforcement official cited in a Politico report claimed that it was “unlikely” the suspect would ever be found.
According to the report, the small amount of cocaine was found in a cubby area for storing electronics within the West Exec basement entryway into the West Wing. This is an area with authorized access for staff and visitors, including those on West Wing tours. The official familiar with the investigation cautioned that it would be difficult to determine the source of the drug given its location in a highly trafficked area.
This revelation has raised numerous questions, particularly in light of conflicting reports about where the cocaine was actually found. Some reports indicate it was discovered in the executive mansion library, where President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, had access. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK) is leading the charge to get answers, as he has written a letter to the Secret Service demanding information about the illicit drug.
Senator Cotton’s letter poses several important questions, including who has access to the White House complex without passing through security screening, who has access to the complex with lesser security requirements, and how often the Secret Service encounters illegal drugs at the White House. These are legitimate concerns that the American people deserve answers to, especially if confidential information is being exchanged in areas where illicit drugs have been found.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has also joined in demanding answers from the Secret Service. She raised questions about whether White House staff, administration officials, and even Hunter Biden could pass a drug test. Greene even questioned what medications or drugs President Biden himself may be taking. As Republicans hold the majority in Congress, they are determined to get to the bottom of this cocaine incident and ensure the White House’s security is not compromised.
It is concerning that President Biden chose to avoid answering any questions about the cocaine found on the White House grounds. The American people deserve transparency and accountability from their leaders, especially when it comes to potential security breaches. This incident should not be brushed aside, and a thorough investigation must be conducted to determine how illicit drugs made their way onto the White House premises. The administration’s refusal to address these concerns only adds to the growing skepticism surrounding their ability to maintain a secure and drug-free environment.
Don’t worry @PressSec, we Oversight Republicans are going to ask Secret Service about cocaine found in the WH.
I’d also like to know if WH staff and admin, as well as Hunter Biden, can all pass a drug test.
And what list of meds or drugs is Joe taking?
