Trump sounds off on Secret Service's knowledge of White House cocaine: 'I believe they know everything'
Former President Donald Trump sits down with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo for part two of an exclusive interview, discussing the 'weaponized' FBI and DOJ,
cocaine uncovered in the Biden White House and other key issues.

Former President Trump said it is "very disappointing" that the Secret Service closed its
investigation into the cocaine found at the White House, saying "they know who" the illegal
substance belongs to.

The Secret Service, earlier this month, found a substance at the White House. That
substance was later determined to be cocaine. The Secret Service opened an
investigation into who brought the cocaine to the White House, but announced it had
closed its probe without naming a suspect due to a lack of physical evidence.

"You have more cameras in that area than any place probably in the world. You have the
Situation Room," Trump said. "I never even thought of it in terms of this, but probably the
most important room anywhere in the world. There’s no more important room—wars are
decided."

Trump said that room is "very heavily guarded."

"They know who—they know everything," Trump said, adding he has a "great respect for
Secret Service."

"Ideal with them all the time, they are really incredible people," Trump said. "Secret Service
knows what’s happening. They know what’s happening."

Trump said he thinks it is "very disappointing that after just a few days" the investigation
was closed.

"That’s a big deal. Cocaine. Now, the cocaine, as they say, could have been worse," Trump
said. "They could have had bioweapons…anthrax…but cocaine is pretty bad."

Trump added: "If somebody is taking cocaine and making decisions—what if there is
fentanyl? What if it was anthrax?"

Trump said Secret Service agents "don’t get enough credit and they are under the orders of
other people."

"But I think Secret Service would be able to tell you the real answer," Trump said. "But you
can’t have a thing like that—the most embarrassing thing for our country—we were
respected three years ago."

Trump’s comments come just days after the Secret Service announced that it has closed
its investigation into the cocaine and was "not able" to "single out a person of interest."

"There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any
other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in
this area," the Secret Service said last week. "Without physical evidence, the investigation
will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who
passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered."

"At this time, the Secret Service's investigation is closed due to a lack of physical
evidence," they said.
