Ex-Trump official defends Hunter Biden over White House cocaine rumors

Fox News contributor Kayleigh McEnany shot down speculation that Hunter Biden had left cocaine inside the White House.

President Joe Biden's son, who has candidly discussed his past crack cocaine addition, was not at the White House when the drug was found Sunday, but he had been there Friday and then joined other family members there on the Fourth of July, but McEnany cited her own experience there to knock down the rumors, reported Newsweek.

"There is no way. It is inconceivable to think cocaine can sit [at the White House] for a 72-hour period," McEnany said. "So I would rule him out at this point."

McEnany worked in the White House as Donald Trump's press secretary, and the former president himself was among the Republican public figures to blame Hunter Biden for the cocaine found by Secret Service agents.

"Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday.

The cocaine was reportedly found in a public area where visitors enter the West Wing.

"It couldn't have been there for days and days," McEnany said on Fox & Friends. "It had to have been there for — I would say — minutes before someone took notice."
