Report: Secret Service skipped crucial step in White House cocaine investigation.

The White House Secret Service Investigation: No Interviews Conducted

The White House Secret Service recently concluded its investigation into the mysterious cocaine found in the West Wing on July 2. However, it has been reported that they skipped a crucial step in the process – conducting interviews.

According to NBC News, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi stated that interviews were not held due to the inability to narrow down the list of potential suspects.

Gugliemi claimed those interviews “could be a strain on resources, might infringe upon civil liberties and would likely be fruitless without corresponding physical evidence tying any person to the drugs,” as over 500 people were on the list.

Gugliemi also noted that they could have held voluntary interviews with individuals, but cited, “[W]e have no evidence to approach them.”

The case was ultimately closed after no fingerprints or substantial DNA were found on the baggie, and there was no surveillance footage of the area.

“Without physical evidence, 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,” the Secret Service stated in a release.

Former U.S. attorney Chuck Rosenberg commented on the situation, stating, “They could have done the interviews, but at the end of the day it’s a long walk through dry sand. They have finite resources and it’s OK for them to decide some things are worth their time and some things are not worth their time.”

Previous Drug Incidents at the White House

Interestingly, this was not the first time drugs were found during President Joe Biden’s tenure at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The Secret Service reportedly disclosed to Congress earlier this month that marijuana was found twice in 2022.

As news of the cocaine discovery broke, it led to speculation about who might be responsible for it. Former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on Truth Social, stating, “THEY 100% KNOW WHO IT IS. If they don’t release information, it means they destroyed the tapes & the Cocaine was for use by Hunter, & probably Crooked Joe, in order to give this total disaster of a President a little life and energy!”

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino also weighed in on the matter, based on his previous knowledge of protocol. He believes that the individual responsible for the cocaine bypassed the security checkpoints.

“The Secret Service didn’t have cocaine on ’em, so it had to be one of the protectees,” he stated. “There is no other explanation. They would have never gotten through the checkpoint.”

It remains to be seen if any further developments will arise in this intriguing case.
