Trump insinuates the White House is high on cocaine lies

The official White House line on the recent cocaine snafu is that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, former President Donald Trump indicated Sunday.

Trump, 77, expressed his disbelief at the Secret Service’s insistence that it could not identify a suspect following its 11-day investigation into cocaine found in the West Wing last month.

“You know how many cameras they have across the door to the Situation Room?” Trump weighed in on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I’ve gotten to know the Secret Service very well, and I can’t speak more highly of these guys who are incredible people,” Trump continued. “I believe they know everything they are really smart and good at what they do.”

The protective agency confirmed on Thursday that its inquiry into the cocaine bag found at the White House was closed due to a lack of physical evidence.

Because of insufficient fingerprints or DNA evidence, the Secret Service said it was unable to identify a suspect.

The stash of drugs was discovered during a routine sweep by a Secret Service agent in the foyer near the executive entrance of the White House on July 2, according to the agency.

After some initial conflicting reports, investigators told members of Congress in a briefing last week, the cocaine was discovered through a basement entrance in the West Wing, one floor below the Oval Office and steps from Situation Room.

“I don’t think it’s possible for bags of cocaine to be left in a certain place, in the Situation Room,” Trump said on Sunday. “I’m not talking about five blocks away, the Situation Room, where you decide on war, where you decide on nuclear.”

Notably, the Situation Room was undergoing renovations and White House officials stressed that it had not been used for several weeks.

“This review included a retrospective review that spanned several days prior to the discovery of the substance and generated an index of several hundred individuals who may have had access to the area where the substance was found,” the Secret Service said.

Despite the vestibule sitting a short distance from the Situation Room, the agency said the cameras couldn’t see the substance or determine how long it had been sitting there.

President Biden left for Camp David about two days before the cocaine was found, accompanied by members of his family, including his son Hunter, who has been open about his past struggles with drug addiction.

Hunter Biden was seen at the White House on Friday before the substance was found, according to pool reports.

The White House bristled at questions from The Post about whether any members of the Biden family owned cocaine.

Last year, the Secret Service also found a small amount of marijuana in the White House.

Several veteran investigators have raised questions about the cocaine probe.

The Post has reached out to a Secret Service spokesman for comment on Trump’s remarks.
