Washington, DC – Authorities in the United States have closed the investigation into the source of cocaine found at the White House without identifying a suspect “due to a lack of physical evidence”, the Secret Service has said.

The announcement on Thursday could further fuel conspiracy theories by Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, linking the drug without evidence to President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and his son, Hunter.

For all we know Donald Trump Jr. secretly dropped it there to stir nonsense up. It's as preposterous as thinking Hunter Biden accidentally forgot it there.

How are there no fingerprints on the bag? Was it a bag? No touch DNA at all? Not video? No visitor logs? Seems strange there is zero evidence.

Why does it have to be a conspiracy? There could have been tons of fingerprints, and they have no way of knowing which ones are related to the cocaine. Visitor logs? For everyone that entered that area?

Lot of people trying real hard to make stuff like this into something it's not. Until it's about one of "their guys", then no amount of hard evidence would matter of course.

Now I'm imagining the south park episode

"I dropped the bag." "No I dropped the bag."
