In a startling revelation, a former Secret Service agent has claimed that the cocaine discovered at the White House was intentionally left there for someone to find. This surprising development follows the abrupt closure of the Secret Service's investigation into the matter last week.

Dan Bongino, the ex-Secret Service agent, suggested that the drugs were not accidentally left behind. Instead, they were deliberately placed in the White House, and someone else may have found them. Bongino shared this information during an interview with Newsmax host Eric Bolling on Wednesday night.

Bongino stated, "Let’s just say a friend called me up and said, ‘Don’t preclude the possibility that the cocaine found in the White House there was not accidentally left behind. In other words, it was left there deliberately for someone to find, and let’s just say someone else may have found it."

Bongino further added that he heard this story from someone who might have inside knowledge about the situation. He expressed confidence that the identity of the person who left the cocaine is known. "So that’s the story I kind of heard from someone who may know a little something about something. We’ll see what happens, but they know who it is. I’m sure of it," Bongino added.

Previously, Bongino had suggested that the Secret Service was aware of the person who left the illicit substance in the West Wing of the White House on July 2. He revealed that the Secret Service was both "furious" and "embarrassed" about the scandal and suggested that the agency was being pressured not to find out who was responsible.

Bongino's comments have fueled speculation among critics of President Joe Biden, including Bongino himself, that the cocaine may have belonged to Biden's son, Hunter, due to his past struggles with drug addiction.

The cocaine was discovered on July 2, while President Biden, Hunter, and the rest of the Biden family were visiting Camp David. The Secret Service conducted a DNA and fingerprint analysis on the "dime-sized" baggie but closed the investigation before identifying the culprit.
