‘Either Joe or Hunter’: Trump says he wants to find real story behind White House cocaine

President Donald Trump said in an interview published Friday that he suspects a member of the Biden family was responsible for leaving a bag of cocaine in the White House in July 2023.

The discovery of cocaine in the West Wing of the White House quickly became a national scandal, with speculation running rampant as to who left the drugs inside one of the most secure buildings in the world. Though an official determination was never disclosed to the public, Trump told The Spectator World that he believes “either Joe or Hunter” Biden is responsible.

“So … who actually left the cocaine in the White House?” Ben Domenech, the interviewer for The Spectator World, asked Trump.

“Well, either Joe or Hunter. Could be Joe, too. OK, so that was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up with … they’re not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints,” Trump answered. “And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry. You know that, right?”

The “bins” Trump refers to are small cubbies near a West Wing entrance frequently used by visitors, who are encouraged to store personal items in the small lockers as they tour, according to ABC News. One of these “bins” is where the cocaine was discovered.

Secret Service agents discovered the cocaine on July 2, 2023 and initially suspected it could be anthrax, which prompted an evacuation of the West Wing. Law enforcement eventually concluded the substance in question was cocaine after conducting further testing.

“See? Well, because, I mean, I was briefly a Bush speechwriter. And so I knew exactly what they were talking about. And I was like, ‘those things are filthy.’ They’re filthy,” Domenech said.

“And there were fingerprints. I mean, if you went to one, maybe we’re cleaner, but if you went to one at any time, you would see hundreds,” Trump responded. “Everybody in there would leave a fingerprint when they went in and that thing was wiped out with, with the strongest form of alcohol.”

Hunter Biden has struggled with addiction in his past, and many observers suggested that his history of drug abuse and presence at the White House shortly before the discovery make him a potential culprit. Regardless, Trump is keen to find the individual responsible.

“By the way, and I have to tell you, I think I’m going to look into that because it was … bad stuff happened there,” Trump told Domenech.
