Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said it is “inconceivable” that the cocaine discovered in the West Wing belonged to Hunter Biden.
The Secret Service Uniformed Division reportedly found the cocaine on Sunday in a common storage area on the ground in the West Wing after the first son paid a visit. He was seen exiting the White House two days before en route to Camp David with his father, drawing speculation that the substance belonged to him.
“For it to be Hunter Biden, he left Friday, he was at Camp David. There is no way, it is inconceivable to think cocaine could sit for a 72 hour period, so I would rule him out at this point,” McEnany said during her Thursday appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

Hunter has a history of cocaine and crack addiction. A photograph from his abandoned laptop reportedly shows him smoking crack behind the wheel and speeding at 172 mph to meet prostitutes. In his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” he admitted to being high behind the wheel and crashing his car outside of Palm Springs in 2016.
He pleaded guilty in late June to purchasing a gun while addicted to drugs and for failing to pay his taxes in 2017 and 2018. The plea prevented him from serving any jail time. (RELATED: Joe Biden Apparently Isn’t The First Democratic President To Have Cocaine At The White House)
It is still unknown how the substance entered the property. White House staff members are required to disclose narcotic or psychotropic drug use and are prohibited from using any drug on the premises, with five having been dismissed in 2021 for having possessed cannabis.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday that the family was away when the Secret Service discovered the substance.
