Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany turned some heads during a segment earlier this week when she made a comment regarding the discovery of cocaine at the White House and rumors it could have belonged to one-time addict and first son Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n
The former Trump White House press secretary was visiting the \u201cFox & Friends\u201d morning show when she essentially ruled out Hunter Biden as a prime suspect.<\/p>\n
Drawing on her own experience, she explained that the area where the drug was found is \u201cheavily trafficked,\u201d and said it was likely \u201cdiscovered rather quickly\u201d because the Secret Service continually monitors the space.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it couldn\u2019t have been there for days and days,\u201d McEnany said. \u201cIt had have been there for \u2014 I would say \u2014 minutes before someone took notice.\u201d<\/p>\n
McEneny then blasted current White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for not being better prepared with the latest information on the incident from the Secret Service when she faced a barrage of questions over the incident the previous day. And she was miffed that Jean-Pierre\u2019s fallback response was that the first family was not at the White House at the time of the discovery, which had already been established.<\/p>\n
She then said: \u201cFor it to be Hunter Biden, he left on Friday, he was at Camp David. There\u2019s no way, It\u2019s inconceivable to think cocaine could sit for a 72-hour period, so I would rule him out at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, reports noted that areas of the White House were evacuated after officials discovered a \u2018strange white powder,\u2019 which subsequent tests confirmed to be cocaine.<\/p>\n
Secret Service units blocked off roads around the president\u2019s official residence, while a DC Fire Department hazmat team was dispatched to the location to investigate.<\/p>\n
\u201cU.S. Secret Service Uniform Division Officers located an unknown item on the White House complex. As a precaution, the White House grounds were evacuated, and the DC Fire Departments Hazmat team responded,\u201d a USSS spokesperson told\u00a0Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sunday evening, U.S. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told\u00a0The Hill<\/a>, \u201cOn Sunday evening, the White House complex went into a precautionary closure as officers from the Secret Service Uniformed Division investigated an unknown item found inside a work area.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe DC Fire Department was called to evaluate and quickly determined the item to be non-hazardous,\u201d Guglielmi added. \u201cThe item was sent for further evaluation, and an investigation into the cause and manner of how it entered the White House is pending.\u201d<\/p>\n
