Surprisingly, the Secret Service recently disclosed that marijuana has been found not once, but twice in Biden's White House!
This revelation came to light during a classified briefing to Congress regarding the cocaine investigation. It's worth noting that possessing less than two ounces of marijuana is not considered a crime in Washington, D.C., but it is still prohibited on federal property, including the White House.
From Fox News:
A spokesperson for the Secret Service told Fox News Digital that agents had found "small amounts of marijuana" on two separate occasions, in July and September of last year.
"No one was arrested in these incidents, because the weight of the marijuana confiscated did not meet the legal threshold for federal charges or D.C. misdemeanor criminal charges, as the District of Columbia had decriminalized possession," the Secret Service spokesperson said. "The marijuana was collected by officers and destroyed."
The spokesperson told Fox News Digital that agents had found "less than .2 ounces of marijuana in both instances" and noted D.C.'s marijuana decriminalization.
The Secret Service did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's follow-up questions, including on whether U.S. law prohibits illicit substances on federal property.
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., told Fox News Digital following the classified briefing that the area where cocaine had been found over the 4th of July weekend "should have had video surveillance," especially since marijuana had been found twice in 2022 "on the White House property" under President Biden’s watch.
While marijuana is being legalized throughout the United States, it's still considered an illegal substance by the federal government. So its presence in the White House is quite concerning.
Couple that with the cocaine found earlier this month, and you really have to wonder why the White House is suddenly crawling with drugs.
Could there be a specific person who is a frequent drug user that's bringing this stuff in? I wonder...
