In 2023, Donald Trump boldly claimed to know who left cocaine in the
White House after the Secret Service’s investigation failed to identify a suspect.
The small bag of cocaine was found in a cubby near the West Wing entrance on July 2.
These cubbies are used by White House visitors to store their belongings,
but with hundreds of people having access to the area, the Secret Service
couldn’t pinpoint the owner. Without security camera footage, the investigation was closed.
Trump shared his theories during an interview with Ben Domenech published
on February 28, 2025, when asked about the incident.
