(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Citing an anonymous official, Politico reported Wednesday that law enforcement was unlikely to catch the culprit who left cocaine in the White House over the weekend.
“It’s gonna be very difficult for us to do that because of where it was,” the official reportedly said.
“Even if there were surveillance cameras, unless you were waving it around, it may not have been caught [by cameras],” the source added. “… It’s a bit of a thoroughfare. People walk by there all the time.”
Politico’s report was published around the same time that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre briefed reporters on the cocaine incident. According to Jean–Pierre, the Biden family was not at the White House over the weekend.
“The President and the First Lady and their family were not here this weekend,” she said.
“They left on Friday and returned yesterday,” she added. “Where this was discovered is a heavily travelled area … I just don’t have anything more to share.”

The press secretary said the White House was confident that the Secret Service would “get to the bottom of this.”
But that didn’t do anything to quell suspicions that the cocaine belonged to known coke-addict Hunter Biden.
The president’s troubled son has been a frequent visitor to the White House, including his attendance at a June 22 state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Biden’s daughter Ashley, also a recovering drug-addict, was in attendance as well. Apart from the two Biden children, none of the other guests at the event—including tennis legend Billie Jean King, civil-rights scion Martin Luther King III and director M. Night Shyamalan—had widely known public histories of drug abuse.
Although rumored to have spent much of 2022 at a rehab facility in Malibu, Hunter’s presence at the White House has reportedly been far more frequent as his legal troubles have escalated.
According to an April report in the New York Post, Hunter Biden hid there while the mother of his estranged child sought compensation for lack of child support.
Meanwhile, observers have questioned why the story of where the cocaine was found continues to change.
“Weird how WH leaks on where the cocaine was found keep on changing,” remarked Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “From the library, to a ‘work area’ to now ‘near’ where ‘guests leave their cell phones.’”
