Cocaine mystery remains unsolved as Biden leaves the White House By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times - Wednesday, December 25, 2024
President Biden will end his term next month leaving behind one of the biggest White House whodunits of all time as the public and politicos still wonder who brought cocaine into the most secure building in the world.
Roughly 17 months after cocaine was discovered in a storage box near an entrance to the West Wing, the culprit remains a head-scratcher. And with the Secret Service closing the investigation in July 2023 after 11 days without interviewing a single suspect, security experts say it’s unlikely a culprit will ever be identified.
“I don’t think that we are ever going to hear anything about the cocaine ever again, unfortunately,” said Robert McDonald, a former supervisory Secret Service agent who worked in the presidential protection division. “It’s a sad state of affairs that the Secret Service chose to close the investigation as quickly as it did, and it’s a sad state of affairs that the administration did nothing to assist the investigation.”
Many questions remain unanswered.
• Why did the Secret Service close the investigation without a single interview?
• Why did the Secret Service “dispose” of the cocaine immediately after concluding the brief investigation?
• If someone could bring cocaine within feet of the president, what about other, more dangerous, powdery substances such as anthrax or fentanyl?
• Why did the White House in 2021 fire five staffers who failed a test for marijuana, which is legal in many states, yet seem disinterested in this case?
