WASHINGTON, Jul 6 Former US President Donald Trump suggested that the cocaine found in the White House could only be intended for the current head of state, Joe Biden, or his son Hunter.
“Does anyone really believe that the cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is intended for use by anyone other than Hunter and Joe Biden,” he wrote on his Truth Social page.
According to Trump, the American media, which he called «fake news media», will soon begin to write that the powder found was not a drug, but aspirin, there was «very little» of it, and the whole story will soon «reduce to zero.»
«Where are the White House security records … that will quickly show where cocaine came from in the White House? They already know the answer, but they probably don't like it,» Trump added.
The suspicious white powder was discovered on Sunday evening by US Secret Service agents who were conducting a tour of the building. After that, an evacuation was announced, US President Joe Biden was not in the White House at that time. The New York Post wrote that shortly before the discovery of the powder, the son of US President Hunter Biden, known for drug and corruption scandals, was in the White House. A subsequent examination confirmed that the powder was cocaine.
On Wednesday, the Politico newspaper reported that US law enforcement agencies doubt their ability to identify the person who smuggled the drug into the White House. According to his data, investigators are prompted to this conclusion by the fact that there is a very high traffic in the territory of the western wing of the American administration, where the drugs were found.
Press Secretary of the Administration Karine Jean-Pierre, in turn, expressed confidence that the US Secret Service «gets to the truth,» and Biden is following all reports in this regard.
