AN investigation into cocaine found in the White House is unearthing previous illicit affairs that took place in earlier presidencies. 

The FBI announced it would launch a new investigation into a dime-sized bag of cocaine found in the White House during Biden’s time in office.

The bag was found on July 2, 2023, and was only briefly investigated, but now FBI Director Dan Bongino said he thinks the case deserves another look.

“We made the decision to either re-open or push additional resources and investigative attention to these cases,” he wrote on X.

“These cases include the DC pipe bombing investigation, the discovery of cocaine at the previous administration’s White House, and the leak related to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs case.”

While no suspect has been named, rumors have swirled that the bag belongs to Biden’s son, Hunter. 

Hunter, 55, previously struggled with an addiction to crack cocaine but has said he’s been sober for years.

“There’s absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex,” Bongino posted on X in 2023. 

“No chance that would make it past the mag/security checkpoints. 

“Family bypasses those.”

‘YOUTHFUL MISTAKES’

The renewed interest in the cocaine scandal is bringing to light years of presidential drug-related scandals.

In 2024, Rolling Stone published an article claiming that the White House during Trump’s first term was like the “Wild West.”

The article accused the administration of distributing controlled substances with little oversight.

Prior to Trump, President Barack Obama and President George W. Bush both admitted – somewhat – to using cocaine in the past.

”When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible,” Bush answered when The New York Times asked about previous drug use.

The Bush campaign admitted that the then-presidential candidate made “youthful mistakes.”

“The crucial details that people have a right to know pertain to how he has carried out his responsibilities as a father, husband, governor, and employer,” Bush campaign spokesperson Scott McClellan stated to the publication in 1999.

”These are the relevant questions about how he will fulfill his responsibilities.”

What unsolved White House mysteries is the FBI investigating?

  • White House cocaine discovery – On July 2, 2023, a dime-sized bag of cocaine was found in a locker near a White House entrance. The Secret Service closed its investigation 10 days later and said there wasn’t enough physical evidence to hone in on a suspect.
  • Supreme Court Roe decision leak – On May 3, 2022, Politico published a report that revealed justices’ decision to overturn Roe v Wade. Investigators are looking into how the draft of the decision was obtained by the outlet.
  • White House pipe bombing – A suspect placed pipe bombs near the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters the night before the US Capitol riots. Footage of the suspect has been released, but investigators still haven’t tracked down an identity.

In Barack Obama’s 2008 memoir Dreams from My Father, the politician wrote about using drugs to “push questions of who [he] was out of [his] mind.”

He called his drug use “bad decisions,” which helped him grow as a person.

“Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it,” he wrote. 

“Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man.”

The former president wrote that he stopped using drugs when he came to terms with the path he was going down.

While most other presidents haven’t been caught or admitted to doing cocaine, many White House staffers have, Semafor reported.

During Jimmy Carter’s presidency, two top White House aides were caught snorting the substance at Studio 54 in New York City.

No charges were ever filed against the aides.

Three presidencies later, dozens of staff members under the Clinton administration were found to have used cocaine during their background checks.

President Bill Clinton also pardoned his half-brother, Roger Clinton Jr., for a conviction of cocaine possession.
