There’s been a big update to a hot story that began in 2023.
We have a big twist in the cocaine that was found in the White House.
The Secret Service spokesperson, Anthony Guglielmi, recently made a statement that the evidence from this investigation was disposed of according to their retention policies. However, he didn’t clarify the specifics of these policies and denied allegations of internal opposition to the disposal of the cocaine.
However, there has been an update from three sources who alleged that ex-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle wanted to destroy the cocaine but faced resistance from within the organization. Cheatle was reportedly furious when her request to immediately destroy the drugs was turned down by agents who cited existing protocols that required evidence to be retained for seven years.
Things get even more mysterious here–two sources reported that Cheatle or someone acting on her behalf requested Matt White, the agency’s forensics division vault supervisor, to dispose of the evidence. This alleged request was intended to close the case.
According to three sources connected to the Secret Service, the half-used bag of cocaine resulted in a ‘partial hit’ in a national DNA database. The cocaine was found on July 2, 2023, just two days after a gathering of the Biden family.
Interestingly, the Secret Service closed this investigation a mere 11 days after the cocaine was found. They didn’t interview any potential suspects, which raised questions about their interest in revealing the truth behind this incident.
Now, we don’t exactly know when the small bag of cocaine was destroyed or the follow-up actions on the alleged DNA partial match. Nevertheless, it was clear that Cheatle’s interest in disposing of the evidence wasn’t supported by others in the Service. Glenn Dennis, Secret Service forensics division chief, and Richard Macauley, the Uniformed Division’s acting chief, opposed Cheatle’s move to destroy the evidence.
This led to a ton of tension within the agency, which seems to be the frosting on the cake following the security failures of the Trump rally in Butler, PA.
Now, amidst these developments, there’s been speculation that a member of the Biden family may be involved, a claim that the White House has strongly denounced as ‘irresponsible.’ Notably, President Biden’s adult children, Hunter and Ashley, have a history of substance misuse, sparking further speculation.
However, the administration, previously took a firm stand against staff who admitted to past marijuana use, dismissing at least five aides despite marijuana’s legal status in many states, finds itself in a precarious situation with this cocaine case.
Classic do as I say, not as I do.
