A bag of cocaine discovered at the White House in July raised significant speculation and scrutiny regarding its ownership. The incident led to an evacuation of the White House complex due to initial fears it contained dangerous substances like anthrax or ricin. Following investigations, the Secret Service was unable to identify the individual responsible for leaving the cocaine, resulting in the matter losing public attention. However, a new report suggests that former Secret Service director Kimberly Cheadle attempted to have the bag destroyed, which casts further doubt on the agency's transparency and handling of the situation. Given Cheadle's close relationship with the president and her appointment, the incident drew particular scrutiny as Hunter Biden, the president's son known for his struggles with drug addiction, had been present in the White House days before the cocaine's discovery. Hunter's claimed sobriety since 2021 raises concerns about the implications a connection to the drugs would have posed for the Biden family.
