(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., launched a scathing attack on the Secret Service, accusing the agency of a massive security failure in its inability to identify the perpetrator of the cocaine found at the Biden White House.
Speaking in an interview with Fox News’s Shannon Bream, Cotton expressed his dismay at the lack of accountability in this investigation and said that the Secret Service ignored his letter demanding information about the security failure.
“We got no answer and that’s not surprising. The Secret Service is a troubled agency and it’s long had challenges, it probably needs new leadership,” Cotton told Bream, the host of Fox News Sunday. “I take this very seriously. What if this was anthrax? This is supposed to be the most secure building in the world. If the Secret Service closed down this investigation after a few days, it’s my understanding they barely conducted any interviews.”
Cotton continued his criticism, drawing attention to the potential role of the Biden family in the controversy. “I don’t think they interviewed the president’s son, who’s a known cocaine addict,” Cotton added. “This is like if Hamburglar lived in the White House and all the hamburgers disappeared, and they said they didn’t have any suspects or no one they could question.
Someone left cocaine in one of the most secure buildings on the planet, and the Secret Service quickly determined it was impossible to find the culprit, even though a known cocaine addict lives there. No serious person believes this explanation.

The Arkansas senator also provided details on how they could zero in on the cocaine smuggler. “If the president was really serious about it, he could demand everybody who goes through those doors submit to a drug test,” Cotton stated. “You could use hair-testing samples and identify anyone who used cocaine in the last few months. Those are steps you would take, if you took this seriously. This just seems like another Biden cover-up.”
Regarding the possibility of a congressional investigation, Bream inquired if it would lead to any meaningful outcomes. Cotton responded, “This is part of the oversight that we conduct on the Judiciary Committee, also on the Homeland Security Committee. I suspect the Republican majority will take this seriously.”
