GOP Rep Has Startling Claim About What Secret Service Did With White House Cocaine Bag

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee blasted the 🕴️Secret Service for rushing to close its investigation into the origins of the cocaine found in the 🏛️White House over Fourth of July weekend and suggested the service had “destroyed the bag.”

“ said originally, ‘We didn’t find enough DNA … And they went back and said, ‘We didn’t find any DNA,'” Burchett said Monday on Newsmax’s “The Chris Salcedo Show.”

“Apparently, they destroyed the bag and any chance of getting any DNA … What the hell? Did they destroy the DNA? Did they have DNA? Why did they destroy it?”

The congressman — whose resume includes a stint as mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, from 2010 to 2018 — said if a similar situation had occurred during his mayorship, the police would have investigated the site of the cocaine discovery in hazmat suits, sealed the 💊Drugs in an evidence bag and immediately sent it to a lab for DNA analysis.

“I was Knox County mayor,” Burchett said. “If we found an unknown substance somewhere, we’d call on law enforcement, our sheriff’s department — the best in the country — and our police department, one of the best in the country. They’d have come in with hazmat suits. They’d put it in a bag and take it to a lab.”
