The president made a bold claim about the mysterious incident that took place in 2023
Donald Trump made a bold accusation regarding the source of the cocaine found in the White House in 2023 after the Secret Service announced it could not determine a suspect.
The agency launched an investigation but closed it in July 2023 after discovering a small bag of cocaine inside a cubby near the West Wing entrance on July 2.
These cubbies are typically used by White House visitors, who are required to store their belongings there during tours. However, the Secret Service pointed out that hundreds of individuals have access to the area, making it difficult to identify who left the substance behind.
With no security camera footage of the incident, the Secret Service was left with little idea as to who the drugs might have belonged to.
However, Trump has his theories.

The president shared his thoughts in an interview with reporter Ben Domenech, published in The Spectator World on February 28. During the discussion, Domenech asked directly, “So… who actually left the cocaine in the White House?”
Trump responded without hesitation, immediately suggesting that either Joe or Hunter Biden could be responsible for the cocaine found in the White House. He said, “Well, either Joe or Hunter. Could be Joe, too.”
However, it’s important to note that President Joe Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland when the cocaine was discovered.
Trump further remarked, “That was such a terrible thing because those bins are usually very messy… they’re not clean and are filled with hundreds, even thousands, of fingerprints. When they went to examine it, the area was completely wiped clean. You know that, right?”

Trump explained, “There were fingerprints. I mean, if you checked one, maybe it’s cleaner, but if you went to any, you’d see hundreds. Everyone who entered would leave a fingerprint, but that thing was wiped down with the strongest alcohol.”
At the time, the Secret Service stated that the cocaine bag was “subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis.” However, the lab results showed no latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA for investigative comparisons.
Trump then told Domenech that he intended to investigate further, adding, “Bad stuff happened there.”
