NEW: Disgraced Former USSS Director Exposed In White House Cocaine Bombshell

On July 2, 2023, the U.S. Secret Service discovered a small amount of cocaine at the White House. The substance was found in a cubby area inside a vestibule used for storing electronic devices at the West Executive Avenue entrance, a location that sees a lot of traffic from staff and visitors. Tests by the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services later confirmed the presence of cocaine.

Despite extensive forensic efforts, including fingerprint and DNA analysis by the FBI, no conclusive evidence was found to identify a suspect. The area where the cocaine was discovered is accessible to hundreds of people, and the lack of surveillance footage capturing the act made it impossible to pinpoint who might have brought the substance into the White House. As a result, the Secret Service closed the investigation due to insufficient evidence to proceed further​.

According to three sources in the Secret Service community who spoke to RealClearPolitics, there was a significant rift among top leaders over how to handle the illicit substance. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, along with other senior figures, reportedly pushed to destroy the cocaine. However, the suggestion was met with firm resistance from both the Secret Service Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division, who insisted on preserving the evidence.

The tension escalated further when at least one officer from the Uniformed Division, initially tasked with investigating the incident, expressed his desire to adhere to standard crime-scene protocols. His insistence reportedly led to his removal from the case by Cheatle and Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe, who was the deputy director at the time.

Other sources familiar with the investigation reported concerns regarding whether the DNA material found on the cocaine was ever compared against a national criminal database. Despite these questions, leaders at the Secret Service, reportedly influenced by pressure from top officials including Cheatle, decided against running additional DNA searches or interviewing the numerous individuals who have access to the White House complex.

“That’s because they didn’t want to know, or even narrow down the field of who it could be,” one of the sources told RCP. “It could have been Hunter Biden, it could have been a staffer, it could have been someone doing a tour – we’ll never know.”

The son of Joe Biden has publicly admitted to struggling with addiction issues, including the use of cocaine. His struggles with substance abuse have been well-documented in the media and have also been a point of discussion in political circles, often being brought up in relation to discussions about his father’s political career. “Protocol is, whether you act on the [DNA] hit or not, we still have to maintain evidence for a period of up to seven years,” a source explained to the outlet. “It became a big to-do.”

“A decision was made not to get rid of the evidence, and it really pissed off Cheatle,” a source in the Secret Service said.

A year later, Cheatle appeared before the United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability for the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Lawmakers from both parties pressured Cheatle, calling for her resignation. Despite this, she firmly pledged not to resign. The very next day, on July 23, 2024, Cheatle resigned from her position as the director of the Secret Service.
