Biden administration faces cover-up claims as Republicans tear into ‘ridiculous’ suggestion there’s ‘no idea’ who left drugs in West Wing locker
Furious Republicans have said the Secret Service will be closing the White House cocaine investigation without finding any suspects.
GOP Rep. Tim Burchett said agents ‘just decided it’s just some weekend visitor’.
‘It’s bogus’ he added. ‘That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in my life’.
His comments came after the Secret Service briefed members of Congress, 11 days after the discovery.
Without any direct answers from the USSS or the Biden administration on the cocaine discovery with nearly two weeks to investigate the matter, members of Congress demanded briefings.
Trump-era CBP Director and longtime FBI agent Mark Morgan told DailyMail.com last week that the case is ‘straightforward’ and could be solved in the matter of 30 minutes.
Morgan, and Rep. Burchett, noted that there are cameras everywhere with facial recognition technology that could provide answers to who brought the cocaine into the White House.
It’s unlikely Republican members of Congress will be happy with USSS closing the investigation without finding out who is responsible for bringing the illicit drug into the West Wing.
The substance was found Sunday, July 2, leading to a hazmat evacuation of the White House while President Joe Biden and his family were in Camp David for the long holiday weekend.
Now, 11 days after the discovery, Congress is no closer to knowing how the drug made it into one of the most secure places in the U.S. – and USSS doesn’t plan to provide any definitive answers.
