Key DNA evidence ‘lost’ by Secret Service in ‘coke’ caper.

Identifying the culprit behind the cocaine left in the White House literally depended on tracking down a “reported missing” “key” piece of evidence.

The same two-tier justice system that tracked down hundreds of Americans who had been in the US Capitol area on January 6, 2021, but failed to restrain anyone from a select number of Supreme Court employees leaked the information. opinion that overturned Roehad a conveniently bleak view of the mysterious drugs located just before Independence Day.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, US Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi explained that the key that opened locker number 50 where the cocaine was discovered on July 2 had been “reported lost”.

The Post Office detailed that the list of suspects so far had only been whittled down to 500 because there were no cameras directly viewing the lockers and guests could choose the locker they were using and grab the corresponding key.

However, while the key was said to be missing, additional evidence was said to contain DNA 112 pages of the Freedom of Information Act requested documents reviewed by the outlet and Judicial Watch.

There, the chain of custody of “Item #2,” listed as “envelope containing (3) tubes” of “Secondary DNA Evidence of Item #1,” was detailed with “Item #1” which was the cocaine itself. .

“I don’t know exactly what was in the tubes, but in terms of destruction, there’s a retention schedule that has to be followed and how long you keep the evidence depends on what kind of evidence it is and the state disposition of the case”. explained Guglielmi.

In addition to the cagey answers from the Secret Service spokesman, the Mail said the FOIA documents left things unclear about whether “any interviews took place, and if not, why they didn’t.”

As it happened, in the wake of the discovery, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan had notably tried to blame the presence of cocaine on any of the construction workers who were in charge of renovations to the nearby situation room on 7 July, a few days after the drug was discovered. .

“I made an opinion on the Situation Room because I think there have been a lot of questionable reports about it. The Situation Room is not in use and has not been in use for months because it is currently under construction,” he said. said during a press conference. “We are using an alternate situation room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. So the only people who have been in and out of the Settlement Room during this period have been the workers who are preparing it for to leave”.

Former President Donald Trump also weighed in on the controversy during a July interview with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo when he suggested the Secret Service knew well who had been behind the illicit drugs.

“You know,” Trump said, “I’ve gotten to know the Secret Service very well, OK, and I can’t speak more highly of the people, they’re incredible people. And I think they know everything — they’re very smart and very good at what they do.”
