Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle allegedly pushed to destroy cocaine evidence found in the White House in July 2023 but was resisted by the Forensics Services Division and Uniformed Division.
The cocaine discovery led to heated internal disagreements and the removal of an officer who wanted to follow standard investigative protocol.
DNA material found on the cocaine bag reportedly resulted in a "partial hit" in criminal databases, but further investigation was allegedly discouraged by agency leadership.
Cheatle's close relationship with the Biden family and the potential link to Hunter Biden's past drug use added complexity to the situation.
The incident has raised questions about the handling of evidence and potential cover-ups within the Secret Service.
