REVEALED: GOP abandoned Biden White House cocaine probe after Secret Service destroyed evidence

In July 2023, when cocaine was found in a bag in the White House, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, launched a probe into finding out who was responsible for the illicit drugs. At the time many joked that it was likely President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, but a new book out from Comer says that they were never able to find out, because the US Secret Service (USSS) destroyed evidence.

"I had to abandon the probe I led into the cocaine found at the Biden White House because the Secret Service destroyed the little plastic bag that contained the cocaine a few days after it was discovered," Comer wrote in his new book, "All the President’s Money: Investigating the Secret Foreign Schemes that Made the Biden Family Rich."

He added in the text, "And the tapes in the White House — amazingly — did not show the particular location of the discovery," per the New York Post.

The illicit drugs were found in July 2023, and USSS ordered those in the White House to evacuate and Biden was at Camp David amid the incident. Within 11 days, the USSS ended their investigation into the bag of cocaine and never named a suspect and said they lacked "physical evidence" to nab any culprit.

Last summer, it was reported that during the investigation, then-USSS head Kimberly Cheatle, who has since resigned after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, wanted to have the cocaine destroyed. However, she reportedly faced internal pressure not to. The report about Cheatle was disputed by USSS at the time.

“The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history,” Comer said at the time of the investigation. “Congress funds White House security procedures, and the Secret Service has a responsibility to maintain effective safety protocols.”
