Byron Donalds (R-FL) suggested the lack of answers concerning the White House cocaine investigation is indicative of a \u201clax atmosphere\u201d within the Biden administration. <\/p>\n<p> On Thursday, Secret Service agents told House lawmakers that their investigation into the cocaine found at the White House on July 2 had been closed due to a lack of physical evidence. <\/p>\n<p> NINE TAKEAWAYS FROM FBI DIRECTOR WRAY&#8217;S TESTIMONY <\/p>\n<p> Donalds told Jesse Watters Tonight that he \u201cgot that vibe\u201d that the Secret Service was not being completely forthcoming. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things that are happening in there, not totally aware of,\u201d Donalds said. \u201cBut the thing that\u2019s lost on me is with all the surveillance that we have at our capability, we don\u2019t know who left a dime bag of cocaine in the White House. Like, we can\u2019t even like narrow it down? That\u2019s the most frustrating thing overall.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> The Florida congressman said his understanding is that Secret Service will hand over the investigation to the FBI because \u201cthere is nothing of destructive power.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> Donalds, however, noted that if cocaine were found in his residence, the investigation and the liberal media\u2019s coverage would look very different. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe big media, The View, and all these commentators would never let it go,\u201d Donalds said. \u201cIt would be the scandal of the moment until they found their next scandal of the moment.\u201d And that\u2019s what will be happening from a media perspective.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER <\/p>\n<p> So, the reason why we take this as serious as we are and we are pressing for questions and answers is because this is important,\u201d he continued. \u201cIn some respects, it speaks to the lax atmosphere that exists at this White House. And if these things are kind of just traipsing through the White House, that\u2019s of serious concern with respect to foreign policy and domestic policy here in the United States.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Members of the House Oversight Committee who attended the briefing by the Secret Service on Thursday said they were told the list of who could have left the bag of cocaine in the West Wing had been narrowed down to about 500 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
