Former Secret Service Chief Tried to Destroy Evidence of Cocaine in White House

On July 2, 2023, a member of the Secret Service discovered a bag of cocaine in the White House, sparking a scandal that has now been further inflamed by allegations that the former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle sought to destroy the evidence. A new report from Real Clear Politics reveals the complexities surrounding the investigation and raises questions about potential cover-ups involving individuals close to President Joe Biden.

Kimberly Cheatle, who was appointed Secret Service Director in 2022, reportedly attempted to prevent the implementation of standard crime-scene investigative protocols when the cocaine was found. This decision came despite the agent’s initial intentions to follow proper procedures, leading to the agent’s removal from the case. Cheatle's appointment was reportedly influenced by her close relationship with First Lady Jill Biden, raising concerns about her impartiality.

On July 12, the Secret Service closed its investigation, citing the inability to identify a suspect. The agency released a statement indicating that no surveillance footage or physical evidence could pinpoint who deposited the cocaine. “Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered,” the statement read.

At the time the cocaine was discovered, Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son with a known history of cocaine abuse, was staying at the White House. Real Clear Politics reported, based on information from “three sources in the Secret Service community,” that this connection has fueled suspicions about the true origins of the cocaine.

Cheatle’s career includes 27 years in the Secret Service, during which she was on Jill Biden’s detail while Joe Biden served as vice president. Her appointment as Secret Service chief was backed by Jill Biden’s top aide, Anthony Bernal, who advocated for her despite lacking national security or law enforcement experience. Critics argue that such influence raises questions about the integrity of Cheatle's appointment.

Cheatle recently resigned after facing Congressional scrutiny over the Secret Service’s failure to prevent an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. The incident, where the would-be assassin fired eight shots, hitting Trump once in his right ear, further challenged her leadership.

Hunter Biden’s history with cocaine adds another layer to the controversy. His ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, testified that she often found drugs or drug paraphernalia in his car between 2015 and 2019, as reported by Politico.

The unresolved case has drawn criticism from political figures. Former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley voiced suspicions, stating, “For them to say they don’t know who this was … don’t tell me there’s no cameras in there. There are absolutely cameras in there. I strongly believe this is a coverup for either Hunter, or someone very close to the president, and they don’t want to say who it is.”

These revelations have sparked outrage and demand answers regarding the handling of the cocaine investigation. The allegations of a cover-up and the connections to the Biden family cast a shadow over the White House and the integrity of its security operations.
