House Speaker Kevin McCarthy expressed concerns over the Secret Service's decision to close its investigation into the cocaine found at the White House, suggesting that President Biden's circle receives preferential treatment. McCarthy highlighted the lack of identified suspects despite the White House's high-security environment, including cameras and multiple security checkpoints. He questioned the varying reported locations of the discovery, raising further doubts about the thoroughness of the investigation.
McCarthy also drew parallels to other incidents involving the Biden family, such as the Hunter Biden laptop controversy and alleged tax violations. He criticized the perceived discrepancy in how these situations were handled compared to how similar cases involving average citizens might be treated. He specifically mentioned the alleged use of intelligence community figures to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story and questioned the timing of the statute of limitations expiring in Hunter Biden's tax case.
