The United States Secret Service is currently conducting an investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation has arisen, with critics of President Joe Biden, including former President Donald Trump, suggesting that the bag may belong to Hunter Biden, the president&#8217;s son, who has a history of addiction and frequently visits the White House.<\/p>\n<h3>Press Secretary Avoids Questions on Cocaine Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>During a flight to South Carolina, reporters repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mike-kelly-same-people-criticizing-trump-peddled-russia-collusion-hoax\/\" title=\"Mike Kelly: Same People Criticizing Trump Peddled Russia Collusion Hoax\">questioned<\/a> White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates about the investigation. However, Bates did not provide any new information and refused to commit to making the results of the Secret Service&#8217;s investigation public.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about Trump&#8217;s claims on Truth Social, Bates responded, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have a response to that because we have to be careful about the Hatch Act.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bates also noted that there seems to be growing frustration from critics, highlighting the contrast between their policy records and the Biden administration&#8217;s accomplishments.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Claims and Questions<\/h3>\n<p>On Truth Social, Trump posted, &#8220;Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter &#038; Joe Biden? But watch, the Fake News Media will soon start saying that the amount found was &#8216;very small,&#8217; &#038; it wasn\u2019t really COCAINE, but rather common ground up Aspirin, &#038; the story will vanish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump also questioned if Jack Smith, whom he referred to as &#8220;the crazy, Trump-hating Special Prosecutor,&#8221; had been seen in the area of the cocaine and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-retired-lt-general-honore-too-partisan-to-lead-capitol-security-probe\/\" title=\"GOP: Retired Lt. General Honore too partisan to lead Capitol security probe\">made derogatory remarks<\/a> about Smith&#8217;s appearance.<\/p>\n<h3>Secret Service Investigation<\/h3>\n<p>Sources familiar with the investigation have informed Politico that the Secret Service does not expect to identify the individual who brought the bag of cocaine to the White House.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to the full gaggle from Thursday below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden administration remains tight-lipped on the cocaine found at the White House.
