(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) As the Biden White House dove into deep cover mode on Wednesday, deflecting and dodging any questions about cocaine found in the West Wing, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social and delivered a fierce response, suggesting who was to blame for the presence of the illicit drug in one of the nation’s most secure buildings.
“Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden,” Trump wrote. “But watch, the Fake News Media will soon start saying that the amount found was ‘very small,’ & it wasn’t really COCAINE, but rather common ground up Aspirin, & the story will vanish.”
On cue, CNN brushed off the seriousness of the offense, and the administration’s blackout response, with a few guffaws.

"I want to know blow-by-blow who was responsible for this." – Sara Sidner while snickering.
"There is no 'too soon' … It's an illicit drug at the White House. Why can't you have a little bit of fun?" – Kate Bolduan pic.twitter.com/mtR6VEPH6M— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 5, 2023
For perspective the media made a much bigger deal about my father drinking multiple Diet Cokes a day then they are about actually finding cocaine in the White House which also led to an evacuation!

White House insurrectionist spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly ducked questions to provide any substantive information or updates on the investigation.
Claiming that the Secret Service “is getting to the bottom of it,” Jean-Pierre refused to identify where in the West Wing the cocaine was found, or provide even a general location, while trying to shift blame to the general public with insinuations that the cocaine had been left by a White House visitor.
“Where this was discovered is a heavily-traveled area where many White House – West Wing, I should be even more specific, West Wing visitors come through this particular area, I just don’t have anything more to share,” she obfuscated.
“Can you give any more details on where the Secret Service found cocaine in the West Wing and how it got there?”

Townhall Managing Editor Spencer Brown put the White House’s dodge in proper perspective, as Jean-Pierre made it sound like the West Wing was “Grand Central Station, or something like that, where just people from the street are wandering through,” he told Fox News.
“It’s not an easy place to get into, and for good reason,” Brown said.
“I think, maybe, it’s unsurprising that the man who hasn’t seemed that concerned about fentanyl flowing across the U.S.-Mexico border is unconcerned with how cocaine is getting into his White House.”
In that vein, a law enforcement source told Politico that the culprit was likely never to be found, and echoed the White House claim that the cocaine was discovered in a heavily-trafficked area.
In his blistering Truth Social post, Trump offered another potential suspect, the special counsel leading two federal criminal investigations into the former president.
“Has Deranged Jack Smith, the crazy, Trump hating Special Prosecutor, been seen in the area of the COCAINE?” Trump asked. “He looks like a crackhead to me!”
“Where are the White House SECURITY TAPES, like the ones I openly and happily gave to Deranged Jack Smith, which will quickly show where the Cocaine in the White House came from???” Trump wrote in a separate post.
“They already know the answer, but probably don’t like it!”
I’m not saying Hunter Biden snorted cocaine at the White House but if he did, I would expect it to look exactly like this. pic.twitter.com/n3VykREfgq
