President Trump is once again putting the spotlight on an unresolved mystery from the Biden White House—who left that small bag of cocaine in the West Wing nearly two years ago? While federal authorities deemed the investigation “inconclusive” and quietly moved on, Trump has pledged to reopen the case, suggesting that either Joe Biden or his son, Hunter, may have been responsible.
The incident dates back to July 2023, when a small plastic bag containing cocaine was discovered in a storage cubby near a public entrance to the West Wing. The discovery led to an immediate evacuation of the White House and an investigation by the Secret Service. At the time, President Biden and his family were at Camp David, and while advanced fingerprint and DNA testing was conducted, no suspect was identified. The case was closed after just eleven days, with officials citing a lack of physical evidence.
However, in a recent interview with The Spectator, Trump made it clear that he isn’t satisfied with the official explanation. When asked by Ben Domenech, “So… who actually left the cocaine in the White House?” Trump responded, “Well, either Joe or Hunter. Could be Joe, too.”
Trump went on to point out how unusual it was that the area where the cocaine was found—an area typically covered in fingerprints—was suddenly wiped clean. “OK, so that was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up… they’re not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints. And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry,” Trump said.
Trump also suggested that the evidence had been deliberately removed to prevent further investigation. “That thing was wiped out with the strongest form of alcohol,” he added, noting that he intends to take a closer look at the case. “I think I’m going to look into that because… bad stuff happened there.”
The handling of the case has already faced scrutiny, particularly regarding the Secret Service’s decision to dispose of the evidence. Reports from RealClearPolitics indicate that then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, a Biden appointee, initially wanted to destroy the cocaine evidence to minimize media attention. However, resistance from forensic and uniformed officers within the agency led to internal disagreements.
Despite conflicting reports about the exact location where the cocaine was found, testing did reportedly result in a “partial DNA hit.” However, no individual was ever publicly identified, and the investigation was shut down.
With Trump now pledging to revisit the case, the question remains: will this mystery finally be solved, or will it remain another unanswered controversy from the Biden years?
