It has been one week since Secret Service agents discovered a baggie of a suspicious white power that turned out to be cocaine in the White House and the culprit has yet to be identified, with many strongly suspecting that it belongs to Hunter Biden, but Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) isn’t among them and has his own theory of who the culprit might be.
As the story of exactly where the blow was found has shifted several times over the last several days with the latest report being near the Situation Room, the Texas Republican discussed the mystery on the latest edition of his “The Verdict” podcast, opining that the coke’s owner is likely a senior administration official but stopped short of naming potential suspects.
“What is bizarre is they say we can’t figure out who it is. Now I will say something odd, which is there’s lots of speculation on Twitter: ‘Oh, a bag of cocaine in the White House it’s gotta be Hunter’s.’ You know my guess is it probably isn’t Hunter’s,” the Lone Star State lawmaker said, seeming to eliminate President Joe Biden’s son as a suspect.
Hollywood is always happy to virtue signal about how woke they are—unless they’re trying to make millions of dollars from China.

“We know that Hunter has a drug problem, we know that he has used cocaine and used crack cocaine in the past. But I doubt Hunter Biden is going in the West Wing all that often and going in that entrance all that often,” Cruz said. “I think it is in all likelihood someone who works in the Biden administration. Some senior Biden official, which makes the cover-up all the more astonishing.
“You’re telling me with the cameras that they have there, with the Secret Service they have there, with the Marine detail they have there, that nobody can figure out, ‘Hey! Who left the bag of cocaine by the front door of the West Wing of the White House?’ I mean that is, or the side door, that’s insane and the only reason they would put out a statement saying, ‘We will never know who it was’ is the same reason why the DOJ and the FBI is engaged in a cover-up of Hunter Biden’s acts of criminality, of Joe Biden’s acts of criminality, of the evidence of corruption. Sadly, this administration is more than willing to politicize,” he added.
One senior administration official, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan suggested that the person who lost the cocaine may not be a White House staffer or a Biden at all, but rather a visiting construction worker while engaging with reporters at Friday’s daily press briefing.

“I would make a point about the Situation Room because I think there’s been a lot of questionable reporting on this,” Sullivan said in response to a reporter’s question about reports that the blow was so close to the highly sensitive area while passing the buck to the Secret Service. “The Situation Room is not in use and has not been in use for months because it is currently under construction.”
“Look, we have rigorous drug testing policies at the White House. We have rigorous drug use policies here at the White House. We take those extremely seriously,” Sullivan added. “So, we’ll let the investigation unfold, if it involves someone from the White House the appropriate consequences will ensue.”
“If it involves some visitor who came in and left it, then that’s a different matter that raises a different set of questions…,” he said in what seemed to be an effort to throw reporters off the trail.
