In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump cautioned Americans to brace themselves for a misleading media campaign concerning the discovery of cocaine in the White House.
According to USA Today, the White House was temporarily closed on Sunday night when a white powder was found in a workspace in the West Wing.
This area houses the offices of President Joe Biden and other high-ranking officials. Subsequent tests confirmed the substance to be cocaine hydrochloride, dispelling initial doubts.
Trump, expressing his perspective on the matter, shared his thoughts on future events.
Does anyone believe the cocaine found near the Oval Office in the West Wing of the White House is intended for anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden?
However, mark my words; the News Media will soon begin asserting that the quantity discovered was minimal and that it wasn’t cocaine but more likely aspirin that had been crushed.
They will strive to make this story vanish.
Has anyone spotted the delusional Jack Smith, the deranged Special Prosecutor who despises me, near the cocaine?
He looks like a drug addict to me!” Trump posted these remarks on his Truth Social platform.
Trump also questioned the absence of security footage from the White House, explicitly referring to the tapes he willingly and happily provided to Jack Smith.
He claimed that these tapes would quickly unveil the source of the cocaine within the White House.
Trump further speculated, “They already know the answer, but they probably don’t appreciate it!” This statement was shared on Trump’s Truth Social platform.
Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service’s head of communications, revealed that an item discovered at the White House was sent for additional evaluation, with a probe into the origin and method of its entry yet to be concluded, as reported by USA Today.
Politico, citing an official knowledgeable about the inquiry, hinted that the person responsible might remain unidentified, given the item was in the West Wing, a frequently accessed area.
The location where the cocaine was discovered is a common area open to numerous individuals, featuring cubicles designed for electronics storage.
When asked about the possibility of tracing the individual, the anonymous official stated to Politico that it would pose a considerable challenge due to the location of the find.
The official also acknowledged that it might have gone undetected even with surveillance cameras unless the person was noticeably flaunting the substance.
They further pointed out that the area is busy with constant foot traffic.
President Biden and his family were away at Camp David from Friday evening and returned on Tuesday, according to Biden’s Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
The Daily Mail mentioned that Hunter Biden, recovering from crack addiction, was at the White House celebrating the Fourth of July but was not present over the weekend.
