Jean-Pierre supports ‘thorough’ probe of cocaine at White House.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Expresses Confidence in Secret Service
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed unwavering confidence in the Secret Service after the agency announced last week that no suspects were identified in the investigation into who brought cocaine into the White House earlier this month.
Unfazed by Empty Probe
Jean-Pierre did not seem concerned when asked about the probe coming up empty after previously stating her confidence in the Secret Service’s ability to “get to the bottom of it.”
“Look, we believe that the Secret Service did a thorough investigation. I’m certainly not going to opine on the investigation,” she press-briefings/2023/07/17/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-nsc-coordinator-for-strategic-communications-john-kirby-18/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>said. “Of course we’re going to have confidence that they’re going to do their jobs and do everything that they can to get to the bottom of this.”
Investigation Closed with No Leads
Last week, the Secret Service closed its investigation after determining that no usable fingerprints or DNA were found on the bag of cocaine.
“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 agency said in a statement.
According to Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi, no interviews were conducted with any of the possible culprits, as reaching out to all 500 people determined to be in the area would likely be a waste of resources.

Former Agent Provides Insight
The cocaine was reportedly found in a West Wing cubby. Former Secret Service agent Charles Marino believes it should be relatively easy to determine when the cocaine was left in that location.
“Based on where the cocaine was found, I’m pretty confident that it was not there for a long period of time, based on the security measures, the sweeps of that area. So that gives the Secret Service some type of a time frame,” Marino told The Daily Wire.
“Another coverup,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) after a briefing with the Secret Service. ”You know, it’s the most secure building in the entire world. Nobody, not even the press, goes in there without them knowing.”
