Last Thursday, the Secret Service wrapped up its investigation into the cocaine scandal that shook the White House earlier this month.
They concluded their “investigation” without conducting any interviews.
Secret Service claimed that there were no fingerprints, DNA samples, or leads, and that no suspect was identified. According to recent reports, it’s looking like that was an outright lie.
CNN reported that the baggy of cocaine was “found in a blind spot for surveillance cameras.”
Per Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi, the agency opted not to interview the 500 potential culprits, citing concerns about the strain it would place on their resources.
Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino revealed that he had conversations with some of his former colleagues within the Secret Service, and they are utterly outraged at the agency’s handling of the cocaine “investigation.”
Bongino explained how the West Wing is a “limited access” area.
“So there’s probably less than 200 people who could have left this cocaine, by the way, in a bag which is plastic, which is non-porous, meaning it’s probably not that hard to pull a latent print. They’ve got to know who did it. The question is who’s pressuring them to not find out who did it? And it’s gotta be coming from this White House. This is terrible. Don’t destroy this agency like they did the FBI. It’s really unbecoming,” Bongino said.
“A lot of my former colleagues in the Secret Service who retired, they are absolutely furious about this. Oh yeah, yeah, I can tell you — I got 50 emails, communications, texts from people. ‘This is embarrassing, humiliating.’ These are good guys, man, guys who worked for Obama and Bush, non-partisan guys, most of them aren’t even political. This is embarrassing, they know exactly who it was,” he said.
“Wow! Do these people want it to come out that it was probably Hunter Biden?” Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olohan asked Bongino.
“Well, you know, is it – the question is, is it Hunter or one of his friends? But like here’s the thing. So, I’m in the Secret Service for 12 years, a good amount of times. We never had this problem. So nobody, by Occam’s razor, right, the process of deduction, keep things simple, keep it simple stupid, Occam’s razor. You’ve got this guy, we never found coke in there before. You’ve got a dude who’s doing coke on tape, who’s got a reputation for being a coke addict. He’s living in the White House. He’s there on Friday. The coke’s found there on Sunday, and everybody is like, “Gosh, who could it be,” Bongino said.
Bongino reiterated his concern that the Biden White House could ruin the Secret Service, like it did the FBI.
Watch:
Sources close to the investigation, who spoke with Soldier of Fortune, confirm that the White House Secret Service is aware of the individual responsible for bringing cocaine into a secure area of the building. According to insiders, the Secret Service has known the identity of the culprit since last week when the security breach triggered a firestorm and prompted congressional inquiries.
However, the police force is currently withholding the name of the guilty party. If these claims are true, it would mean that the Secret Service knowingly gave false information during a briefing to members of Congress last week, stating that they had no knowledge of the person behind the incident involving the bag of cocaine in the building.
“We know who handled it,” one security source said. “We’ve known since last week.”
According to two sources, the identity of the individual has been confirmed, and it was reported that their fingerprints were found on the bag of drugs. Reportedly, the Secret Service was able to match the fingerprints using a specialized laboratory capable of delivering rapid results in under 24 hours.
Soldier of Fortune magazine submitted Freedom of Information Act requests to several federal agencies believed to possess information regarding the individual whose fingerprint was found on the baggie of cocaine. The agencies include the Washington, D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department, the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Secret Service.
Some have speculated that Hunter Biden, the embattled son of Joe Biden, who has openly faced challenges with drug addiction, is likely the culprit. He was reportedly present at a White House celebration shortly before the cocaine discovery.
On Thursday, representatives from the Secret Service are meeting with the House Oversight Committee.
Last week, James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the Oversight Committee, requested Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to provide a “staff level briefing” regarding the cocaine matter. The deadline for this briefing was set for July 14.
“The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history,” Comer wrote in his July 7 letter to Cheatle.
