Back in 2023, when Joe Biden was President of the United States, there was something of a drugs scandal in the White House, when the Secret Service found a gram of cocaine in the West Wing.
An investigation was launched, but while Secret Service officials trawled through their security systems and indexed ‘several hundred’ people who entered the White House, they were unable to identify a suspect. There was ‘insufficient DNA’ on the bag in question and an FBI lab was unable to retrieve any fingerprints.
A mystery indeed. Who could have left the cocaine there? It’s clearly something that has been on Donald Trump’s mind since he’s returned to the Oval Office.
Asked about the incident by The Spectator’s Ben Domenech, who interviewed the president on Thursday, Trump joked that Joe Biden might have been to blame, or perhaps his son Hunter (who was convicted last year of lying about his drug use when buying a gun).
