In a recent development, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has declined to release further details about the cocaine discovered at the White House last month. The refusal came in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Fox News' Jesse Waters, seeking documents related to the case.
The host of Jesse Watters Primetime was informed that the documents did not pertain to a "matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exist possible questions about the government’s integrity which affect public confidence." This statement was reported by RadarOnline.com and shared on Watters' show.
Watters expressed his disbelief at the response, highlighting the inconsistencies in the narratives surrounding the location of the cocaine discovery and the subsequent actions of the White House. He pointed out that the White House had initially provided three different accounts of where the cocaine was found and then allegedly lied about Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son, not being present at the scene.
Adding to the intrigue, Watters noted that the cocaine was found in a surveillance camera blind spot, and no DNA or fingerprints were recovered from the scene. Furthermore, he claimed that the Secret Service destroyed the bag of cocaine by setting it on fire, an act he described as "destroying evidence."
The cocaine was discovered on July 2 in "a receptacle used to temporarily store electronic and personal devices prior to entering the West Wing," at a time when the Biden family was not in residence. The Secret Service launched an investigation but was unable to develop latent fingerprints or find sufficient DNA for investigative comparisons.
The Secret Service stated that no surveillance video footage was found that could provide investigative leads or identify who may have deposited the substance. Without physical evidence, the investigation could not single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered.
Speculation has been rife that the drugs could have belonged to Hunter Biden, who has publicly struggled with addiction in the past. However, no concrete evidence has been presented to support this claim. The Secret Service has reiterated its commitment to protecting U.S. leaders, facilities, and events, and adapting to meet the needs of the current and future security environment.
