Biden LAUGHS OFF White House cocaine scandal and refuses to answer reporters' questions - while press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggests drugs found in West Wing belonged to a visitor

President Joe Biden laughed and again ignored questions about the cocaine found at the White House - as the administration tried to distance the first family and staff from the shocking discovery by suggesting it was a visitor.

Biden sat and watched reporters as they tried and failed to get his response to the drug scandal while he was in the Oval Office with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on Wednesday.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre implied in her daily briefing that a member of the public left the Schedule A substance in a 'heavily-traveled area' of the West Wing - the office space that includes the Oval Office and an area for staff.

Despite repeated questions, she refused to get into 'hypotheticals' about the investigation and insisted the Secret Service would find the culprit who abandoned the drugs while Biden and son Hunter were in Camp David for the weekend

The cocaine was found on Sunday in small, zippered bag in a cubby hole in the lobby area of the West Wing, where visitors leave their cell phones and other electronics before entering the White House complex.

A member of White House staff must accompany guests who tour the West Wing, and the Biden administration tests new hires for illicit substances.

Jean-Pierre said Biden had been briefed on the matter, but the president didn't acknowledge questions shouted at him during the meeting with Kristersson.

He also didn't answer questions about it on Tuesday.

The Secret Service is conducting an investigation, including looking at security cameras and visitor logs.

The substance was found during a routine Secret Service sweep on Sunday evening and tested positive as a drug.

Jean-Pierre noted the lobby sees a lot of foot traffic on any given day.

THAT ‘group of VISITORS’ to that area is ONLY SPECIAL VISITORS OKAYED by someone prominent. Not just a ‘visitor’.

The fact that he has a history of cocain addiction has to factor in too right? I mean it could very well be it wasn’t him...but there is no reason to be surprised if it was. This was the moron who left the lap top at the repair shop.

No visitor is going to say: "Okay, I need to check my cell phone and bag of cocaine here before I enter the complex."

Agreed. Strange situation. They must know who it was, but are for whatever reason not disclosing. Could be related to HB. Failure to ID would suggest it.

It was the Russians, and soon we’ll have letters from 31 former top intelligence officials verifying they heard it from undercover spies.

“And members of the Repugnant party just consider the whole charade to be business as usual.“

And THERE it is!!! - the truth.

DC, our politicians and their corrupt, degenerate media all see this as business as usual - for them. Why… they’re ENTITLED to such things.. THEY can handle it..

It the “little” people who need extreme regulation and control!…

They’re also whining about people picking on Hunter due to his addiction, while at the same time saying this will make Joetat0 more relatable. LOL
