Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said that drugs have been found at the White House in two other instances since last year.
Marijuana was previously found in two separate events, but the investigation was closed because “everything in this administration is about covering up for the Biden crime family,” Boebert said.
“This is the third time that drugs have been found on the White House property since 2022, and we did not even hear about the marijuana,” the representative explained.
She added, “I certainly did not hear about the marijuana that was found in 2022, two times, and now there’s cocaine on the property. So everything they do is to move along to the next story. They know there will be another Biden crime crisis.”
The Secret Service informed Congress of the drug findings during a classified briefing on the cocaine investigation.
“No one was arrested in these incidents, because the weight of the marijuana confiscated did not meet the legal threshold for federal charges or D.C. misdemeanor criminal charges, as the District of Columbia had decriminalized possession,” according to a Secret Service spokesperson.
“The marijuana was collected by officers and destroyed,” they noted.
Reporting from Fox News:
"There are 182 lockers in that foyer and currently ... locker number 50 where the cocaine was found, that key is missing," she said. "There were more than 500 people who went through the West Wing during the weekend of when this substance was found, when the cocaine was found in the White House, and none of those people who have come through are classified as suspects." ... "The only thing that the Secret Service did was conduct background searches for past drug use or conviction of the over 500 individuals that came through that weekend," Boebert said. "They did not go further back in time, nor did their investigation produce any results to flag an individual person."
