#shorts On 7/5/2023, a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “How determined is the President to get to the bottom of who brought illegal drugs into the White House?
KJP: The Secret Service is getting to the bottom, and that’s what matters. And it’s under their purview.
Reporter: But it was — the question was: How determined is the President?
KJP: The President thinks it’s very important to get to the bottom of this. That’s why Secret Service, which it’s under their purview, is looking into this. And they’re going to look into what happened this weekend. So, the President thinks this is incredibly important to get to the bottom of this.
On 7/5/2023, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked a surprising number of questions from reporters at briefing on the subject of the discovery Sunday of cocaine in the West Wing. First and foremost, Jean-Pierre wanted everyone to know that Joe, Jill, Hunter and the entire Biden family were away from the White House starting Friday and did not return until Tuesday. The Bidens spent the long holiday weekend at Camp David, returning on Tuesday for the Fourth of July celebration at the White House where Hunter was given pride of place on the Truman Balcony during the fireworks show. Jean-Pierre strongly inferred West Wing visitors were to blame for the cocaine, saying the discovery was made in a “heavily traveled” area of the West Wing and that tours had taken place there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
