Secret Service denies White House cocaine report
SUMMARY
The Secret Service has denied reports that former Director Kimberly Cheatle and other leaders sought to destroy cocaine found in the White House. Agency spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi called the claims false, stating that the Secret Service followed all investigative protocols. The allegations, reported by RealClearPolitics, included claims from sources that Cheatle reassigned an officer who wanted to follow specific crime scene protocols. This aspect was not addressed in Guglielmi’s statement. The cocaine, discovered on July 2nd, led to a brief White House evacuation. The incident has gained attention due to Hunter Biden staying at the White House shortly before the discovery. Initial reports on the location of the drugs varied, with the most recent stating it was found in an area used by staff and tourists to store their phones.
