Former Secret Service director tried to deep-six investigation into cocaine found at White House: Report



Secret Service leaders, including then-Director Kimberly Cheatle, tried to crush an investigation into the bag of cocaine that was found in the White House in July 2023, according to yet another explosive report about the federal agency by Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics.

On July 2, 2023, a bag filled with white powder later identified as cocaine was discovered by a Secret Service Uniformed Division officer who was conducting a routine inspection of the White House after the Biden family had left for Camp David for the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Matt White ... allegedly received a call from either Cheatle or someone claiming to represent her, ordering White to destroy the cocaine evidence so that the case could be closed.

Because of first son Hunter Biden's known history of abusing illegal drugs, including crack and cocaine, and his recent visit to the White House, members of the press immediately began asking whether the bag belonged to him. Such questions were later labeled "irresponsible."

Congressional Republicans also sent a letter to Cheatle, demanding more details about the apparent breach of security that permitted a bag of cocaine to be brought to the White House in the first place.

"The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House's history," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote Cheatle in a letter dated five days after the bag was discovered, as Blaze News previously reported.

DNA material was eventually extracted from the bag, and investigators did find a "partial" match. However, as the investigation yielded "no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads," no latent fingerprints, and "insufficient DNA," the Secret Service's investigation into the incident was ultimately "closed due to a lack of physical evidence," said a statement from the agency.

Now, more than a year later, the Secret Service is under tremendous scrutiny once again after a series of deadly security blunders allowed 20-year-old Thomas Crooks to fire several rounds at former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024.

One bullet tore through Trump's ear, missing his head by less than an inch. Other bullets took the life of former fire chief Corey Comperatore and critically wounded two others.

Cheatle, who initially defied calls for her resignation following the shooting, eventually stepped down, and Ronald Rowe became acting director in her stead.

According to Crabtree, at least one Secret Service Uniformed Division officer told Cheatle, Rowe, and others last year that he intended to follow crime-scene protocols regarding the cocaine bag found at the White House. Shortly following that conversation, he was apparently reassigned from the case.

Furthermore, Matt White, who was then supervising the vault in which the cocaine evidence had been stored, allegedly received a call from either Cheatle or someone claiming to represent her, ordering White to destroy the cocaine evidence so that the case could be closed, Crabtree reported, citing two sources in the Secret Service community.

Despite apparent pressure from Cheatle, the Forensic Services Division at the Secret Service stood firm and denied the alleged request to destroy the cocaine evidence, Crabtree claimed.

"A decision was made not to get rid of the evidence, and it really p***ed off Cheatle," a source told RCP.

"That’s because they didn’t want to know, or even narrow down the field of who it could be," a source also told RCP. "It could have been Hunter Biden, it could have been a staffer, it could have been someone doing a tour — we’ll never know."

In addition, Crabtree indicated that Richard Macauley, former acting chief of the Secret Service Uniformed Division, may have been passed over for the permanent position because he supported those who refused to destroy the cocaine evidence.

Cheatle has a close relationship with the Biden family, particularly first lady Jill Biden, stemming from Joe Biden's time as vice president during the Obama administration. Reports suggest that because of these close family ties, Biden appointed Cheatle to become Secret Service director in 2022.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi did not respond immediately to RCP's request for comment.

Whodunit? White House Secret Service investigation FAILS to crack the case!



The White House cocaine culprit has escaped unscathed after the Secret Service reportedly completed its investigation with zero answers.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi revealed that the owner of the drug remains unidentified because agents did not want to infringe on anyone's civil rights.

The Secret Service did not interview the first family’s well-known drug enthusiast, Hunter Biden, on the matter.

“I guess we’re never going to know that it was in fact Hunter’s cocaine,” Sara Gonzales jokes, implying that that's exactly whose cocaine it was.

Eric July believes they know exactly who’s cocaine it is.

“You’re dealing with the freaking White House, which I’d imagine it’s supposed to be like the most secure place in the world, perhaps,” Eric July adds, continuing, “They know who did it. There’s no reason to pretend. They know whose it was, they just don’t want to tell anybody else because of course, that would then incriminate them.”

July, like Gonzales, is convinced the cocaine belonged to Hunter Biden.

“On the July 4 date, he was blitzed out of his mind,” July recalls.

He also mentions that this kind of shoddy investigation is simply how the government chooses to operate.

“It’s just unfortunately how the government operates, particularly the federal government. It’s like, ‘We’re going to do what we want, and yeah, it doesn’t make sense but what are you going to do about it?’”

Why the FBI & Secret Service HAVE TO KNOW who brought cocaine to White House



In the past, Glenn Beck has been blessed with the opportunity to visit the White House on several occasions. During his visits, he jokes that he went “through everything but a rectal cavity search.”

“You take everything out of your pockets. You know you’re at the airport — it’s almost the same thing.”

So, why, Beck wonders, do the FBI and Secret Service have zero clue as to who was doing cocaine in the White House?

“The Secret Service is either not doing their job and cocaine got past them, or somebody that doesn’t have to go through that search brought the cocaine in,” Beck says.

Those who don’t have to be searched would include members of the first family — and one of those members has a long history of carelessly revealing his own drug abuse.

“You have some pretty serious evidence like oh, I don’t know, videotape of the President’s son weighing crack cocaine with a hooker,” Beck comments.

Beck believes the Secret Service and FBI are either extremely incompetent, or they’re covering for someone important. Either way, he thinks they should all be fired.

“At some point you need to say, ‘You know, you’re really bad at these ongoing investigations because you’ve had an ongoing investigation on Hunter Biden for how many years? And you still don’t know what everyone in the public knows.’”

As more information becomes obviously hidden from the public, more and more Americans are turning to conspiracies to explain the blatant lies.

“And they wonder why Americans are buying into conspiracies,” Glenn says, adding, “There’s a difference between a conspiracy theory and a conspiracy fact. I’m pretty sure with the FBI and the justice system we are now looking at conspiracy facts.”

Watch Press Sec, PANICS When Asked About Cocaine Found at White House

Mysterious white powder in White House that prompted evacuation tests positive for cocaine: Report



Panic set in Sunday evening at the White House following the discovery of an unknown substance in the West Wing by members of the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service.

TheBlaze reported that precautionary closures were implemented while DC Fire and EMS investigated.

A firefighter with the department's hazardous material team radioed the results of a field test around 8:49 p.m., noting, "We have a yellow bar saying cocaine hydrochloride," reported the Washington Post.

An official familiar with the investigation confirmed to the Post that the transmission was indeed from the White House and that the preliminary test had turned up a positive result for cocaine.

United States Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi indicated that "an investigation into the cause and manner" is under way to determine how the substance entered the White House.

DC Fire and EMS told TheBlaze the investigation is being handled by the Secret Service.

According to Guglielmi, the alleged cocaine was found by Secret Service members while conducting routine rounds through the executive mansion.

Authorities have sent the sample to a lab for additional tests.

President Joe Biden was not in the White House at the time of the brief evacuation, as he and first lady Jill Biden had left for Camp David Friday, reported Newsweek. Hunter Biden and his son Beau apparently joined the president for the weekend getaway.

Whoever misplaced the alleged cocaine might take solace in Hunter Biden's story of recovery.

The first son was kicked out of the Navy Reserve for cocaine use and told the New Yorker that he turned up for at least one Burisma board meeting high on the illicit substance.

A 2016 police report indicated that Hunter Biden, who referred to himself in his memoir as a "functioning addict," returned a rental car in Arizona that contained "a small ziplock bag with a white powdery substance inside" along with a cocaine pipe, reported the Washington Examiner.

In a 2018 relapse, Hunter Biden noted he "used [his] superpower — finding crack anytime, anywhere."

Despite his difficult, prison-free journey to recovery, Hunter Biden has enjoyed the support of the president, who maintains he is "smartest guy" he knows.

TheBlaze has reached out to the Secret Service for comment and is awaiting a response.
