While the media’s been busy with a whirlwind of fresh headlines, a buried report just resurfaced that raises serious new questions about former President Joe Biden, former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, and how they handled one of the most bizarre scandals of his presidency.
A new report details the bag of cocaine found at the White House in July 2023.
According to investigative reporter Susan Crabtree at RealClearPolitics, who’s been digging into this from the start, new records reveal the Secret Service moved fast to destroy the evidence, just one day after the case was abruptly closed.
Furthermore, it seems the agency might have taken revenge against a senior official who opposed the destruction, a decision that Cheatle herself overruled.
Crabtree uncovered documents that “are raising new questions about the scrupulousness of the investigation.”
“A U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency document titled ‘Destruction’ states that the bag of cocaine was sent to the Metropolitan Police Department for incineration,”
“That document, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, doesn’t display a date for the destruction,” she added.
“But other internal Secret Service records show that the cocaine was tested by the Secret Service, the D.C. Fire Department hazmat technicians, and the FBI before being sent back to the Secret Service for storage on July 12.”
“Two days later, it was transferred to the D.C. police department for destruction. The Secret Service shut down the cocaine investigation 11 days after discovering it.”
