Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) expressed skepticism about the Biden administration’s investigation into the discovery of a bag of cocaine in the most secure building in the world.
He voiced his concerns on Fox Business, questioning why it seemed easier to find DNA on a pizza box in a trash can than to discover the cocaine in the White House.
The controversy arose when host Maria Bartiromo said, “We know cocaine was found at the White House, and then we never heard another word about it after the Secret Service said that they couldn’t find fingerprints and they had nothing from the cameras,” before asking, “Aren’t there cameras all around there in the White House?”
In response, Paul said, “Yes, we seem to be able to find DNA on a pizza box in a trash can but we have a little bit more difficulty in the White House.”
Paul found it alarming that someone could smuggle illegal substances like white powder into such a high-security place.
“It’s not good for the republic to keep impeaching presidents and indicting presidents … [Democrats] are destroying the fabric of our republic … We have to be careful not to fall into the same trap.”

“I suspect they know more than they’re letting on in the White House and then decided they’re not really going to police this,” Paul said before he said, “But to me, always the most alarming thing hasn’t been the drug use but the possibility that a white powder could be something much more dangerous to everyone and that being anthrax.”
He called for a thorough investigation into the matter, especially considering the potential risk if dangerous substances like anthrax were to be brought into the White House.
“And there should be a dramatic investigation into this.” Paul claimed. “Not just for the punishment from drugs which I think is wrong.”
“But really for the idea that there could have been anthrax taken to the White House,” he added. “I think we’ve never really treated this seriously as it ought to.”
In addition, Senator Paul also cautioned the GOP against impeaching President Biden, similar to what the Democrats did to former President Trump.
He believes that the ongoing political divide is causing harm to the unity and stability of the country.
“It’s not good for the republic to keep impeaching presidents and indicting presidents.” Paul said. “The other side is pitting everyone against each other and are destroying the fabric of our republic.”
“We have to be careful not to fall into the same trap,” he added.
Senator Rand Paul noted the need for a serious investigation into the cocaine incident at the White House. He urged both sides of the political spectrum to work together to preserve the fabric of the nation and avoid further polarization.
