Donald Trump made a bold claim about who was responsible for leaving cocaine in the White House in 2023 after the Secret Service said it could not identify a suspect.

The Secret Service launched - and ultimately closed - its investigation in July 2023 after the small bag of cocaine was found inside a cubby near the White House's West Wing entrance on July 2 of that year.

The cubbies are usually used by visitors to the White House as they are instructed to place belongings there when visiting the building for a tour, however the Secret Service noted that hundreds of people have access to the area.

With no security camera footage of the incident, the Secret Service was left with little idea as to who the drugs might have belonged to.

However, Trump has his theories.

The current president shared his thoughts when he was joined by reporter Ben Domenech for an interview published in The Spectator World today (February 28), in which he was asked: " So… who actually left the cocaine in the White House?"

Trump appeared to have no hesitation with his response, as he immediately claimed his predecessor might have had something to do with the incident.

He said: "Well, either Joe or Hunter [Biden]. Could be Joe, too."

At this point, it's worth noting that then-president Joe Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland at the time the cocaine was found.

Trump continued: "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. And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry. You know that, right? [...]

"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. Everybody in there would leave a fingerprint when they went in and that thing was wiped out with, with the strongest form of alcohol."

At the time, the Secret Service said the bag of cocaine was 'subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis', however the lab results 'did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons'.

Trump went on to tell Domenech he was 'going to look into' the matter, claiming: "Bad stuff happened there."

UNILAD has reached out to representatives for the Bidens for comment via the White House.
