In 2023, a small bag of cocaine was found in a cubby near the White House West Wing, sparking public curiosity and controversy. Despite an extensive investigation by the Secret Service, which failed to identify a suspect, the case remained unresolved. The high-profile nature of the discovery led to widespread speculation about possible involvement by White House staff or visitors.

Former President Donald Trump reignited interest in the case in February 2025, claiming he knew the identity of the person responsible but accused the Secret Service of covering it up. While Trump didn’t name the culprit, his remarks fueled further speculation, particularly about the Biden administration. His comments fit into his broader narrative of government corruption and bias against his political opponents.

Although lacking concrete evidence, Trump’s claim serves to reinforce his ongoing criticism of Washington and has kept the controversy alive, ensuring it remains a talking point for years to come.
