Kirby commends investigators’ efforts to locate White House cocaine suspect.

The White House Cocaine Investigation:‍ No ‌Suspects ‍Found

The⁤ investigation into ⁢the​ origin​ of the ⁣cocaine⁢ found‍ in⁢ the White⁢ House was ​“the⁣ best”⁢ the Secret Service could ⁣do, despite​ not ‌identifying‍ a suspect, a top​ Biden administration official says. 

John ⁢Kirby,​ the ​coordinator for ⁤Strategic⁣ Communications at the National ⁢Security Council, told‍ Fox News ⁣host Shannon Bream on “Fox ⁤News​ Sunday”⁣ that​ at ​the ⁢end ⁢of the‍ probe,⁤ there wasn’t⁤ enough ⁤“forensic​ evidence”⁣ to​ pinpoint ⁤the perpetrator. On ‍July ‍2,⁢ a⁤ bag of cocaine ‌was⁤ discovered ‍in a lobby⁢ of⁤ the ⁣West Wing. 

​

“I can’t‌ really ⁢speak ‌to the‍ investigation ⁤that ‌was‌ done by ⁢the ⁣Secret​ Service,” Kirby‍ said when‍ Bream asked ⁢him, ​“What if it⁤ was ⁤something more dangerous?” 

⁤

“They ⁣did‍ the ‌best ⁣they⁢ could to track ⁢down⁣ how⁣ it ⁣got ⁣there and who​ it might ⁣have belonged​ to and they just were not able⁣ to ‍come‍ up ​with⁤ any ⁤forensic⁣ evidence that proves ⁤it,” Kirby added.

Kirby went⁤ on​ to explain that the cocaine ⁢was discovered ​in a “visitors​ lobby ​area,” which is‌ “highly ⁤trafficked.”​ He said⁢ the ​administration has ⁣taken ​the discovery “seriously” ⁤and‌ that⁤ the⁢ administration would take a ‌look at‌ how it could ‍have⁣ gotten into‌ the ‍White ‌House. 

‍

“If there’s‍ things ⁢we ⁢can do⁤ to prevent ‍that‍ in ⁢the ⁢future, ‌we⁤ certainly ⁢will ⁤do that,”⁤ Kirby said.‍ “Nobody’s ⁢happy⁤ about this.”

Unsolved Mystery: No⁣ Fingerprints​ or DNA Found

On⁤ Thursday, the‍ Secret Service concluded its ‌investigation into the ⁤source of⁣ the⁢ cocaine,⁤ saying that⁢ no fingerprints⁢ or‌ DNA were discovered⁤ on ​the ⁢bag.‌ The federal agency⁢ also reportedly⁤ reviewed⁣ video ⁤surveillance ⁣and⁢ visitor logs,‌ but ‌those attempts came⁣ up‌ empty. 

⁢

Some initially ‌suspected⁤ that ⁢Hunter ‍Biden, President ⁣Joe Biden’s‌ son,‍ could⁢ be ⁣behind the scandal, as he ​had appeared ​at the⁣ White House ⁤before ⁣the‌ announcement of the discovery‍ and has‍ previously battled ​drug ⁤addiction,‌ including⁢ cocaine use. A source, ‍however, told ​NBC that the⁤ “leading theory” is that the​ substance was⁢ left ⁤by‌ a ⁣visitor on ​a ⁣tour‍ that ⁣weekend. 

Republicans ‍Accuse White⁣ House of Cover-Up

⁤

“Just left⁤ the ‌most ridiculous meeting of all ‌time with the‌ Secret ‍Service‍ on ⁢the ‍cocaine ⁤that was ⁤found‍ in the White⁤ House,” Rep.‌ Tim ⁤Burchett⁣ (R-TN) ⁢said⁣ in a ⁤video‍ he​ recorded after ​a ⁤briefing on ⁣the‌ investigation. “It turns​ out⁢ –⁤ they‍ don’t‍ know who ‍did it. The investigation is going‌ to be ⁣over⁤ at ⁢the ​end ‌of ‌the⁢ week, ‍and they’re ⁣not going ⁣to find ‍out ⁢who did ‍it. And​ that’s basically it.”

⁤

“Another⁢ coverup,” Burchett continued.⁢ “You⁣ know,⁤ it’s the ⁣most⁣ secure⁢ building in⁢ the⁤ entire⁢ world. Nobody, not even ⁢the press, goes in there without⁢ them ⁢knowing.”

Even ​former⁣ President Donald Trump, ⁣the current‍ frontrunner for the Republican presidential‌ nomination, weighed in on⁤ the⁤ controversy, calling​ it a “two tier⁣ level of‌ justice.” 

⁤

“Despite all of‍ the ⁣cameras pointing directly at the⁤ ‘scene ‍of​ the​ crime,’ ⁤and ‌the greatest⁢ forensics anywhere in the World,‍ they just can’t‌ figure it⁢ out? They know the answer, and so‌ does everyone else!” Trump⁣ posted to⁢ Truth Social.
