Fox News commentator Jesse Watters has expressed skepticism about the Secret Service's decision to conclude its investigation into the cocaine found at the White House. The investigation, which failed to identify a suspect, has left Watters raising questions about the agency's competence.
Watters questioned the lack of a culprit and the uncertainty surrounding when and where the cocaine was discovered. Initial reports placed the substance in the library, then a cubby, and later near the Situation Room, creating confusion about the exact location. The Secret Service now maintains the cocaine was found in a cubby.
The host challenged the Secret Service's claim that despite the White House's extensive security measures, including facial recognition, security screenings, DNA analysis, canine units, forensic analysis, fingerprinting, and visitor logs, the cocaine was found in a supposed blind spot. Watters expressed concern that if the substance had been a more dangerous material like ricin, the Secret Service would have been equally unable to identify the person responsible. He pointed out the irony of the Secret Service, tasked with preventing assassinations, bomb threats, and kidnappings, being unable to solve a drug-related incident within the White House.
Watters compared the situation to other high-profile investigations, highlighting the ability of law enforcement to extract DNA from decades-old evidence. He questioned why, with all the available technology and resources, the Secret Service couldn't find a single fingerprint or DNA sample on the bag of cocaine.
The commentator's skepticism reflects broader concerns about the security protocols at the White House and the ability of the Secret Service to fulfill its protective duties effectively.
