Newly surfaced documents reveal that the baggie of cocaine found inside a White House locker in July 2023 was destroyed just days after the investigation was officially closed, as reported by The Western Journal.

This prompted renewed questions about the handling of the case by former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, raising concerns about potential internal retaliation.

According to a report released Friday by RealClearPolitics journalist Susan Crabtree, a Drug Enforcement Administration document titled “Destruction” confirms the bag of cocaine was transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department for incineration.

However, the document contains no recorded date of destruction. Other records show the cocaine was tested by the Secret Service, D.C. Fire Department hazmat team, and FBI, and then stored by the Secret Service on July 12. Two days later, it was sent for destruction.

The Secret Service officially closed the investigation 11 days after the substance was discovered in a locker area inside the West Wing, which is typically used by VIP visitors.

D.C. police have referred all inquiries about the destruction to the FBI, and no conclusive public documentation of the cocaine’s disposal has been presented.

Former Secret Service sources revealed that Matt White, then the vault supervisor, was instructed to destroy the cocaine. The request reportedly came directly from Cheatle or someone representing her.

White allegedly resisted the request, supported by then-acting Uniformed Division Chief Richard Macauley, who also questioned the agency’s decision to dispose of the evidence so quickly.

Despite agency policy to preserve sensitive materials, the cocaine was not retained for future forensic analysis. Surveillance footage reportedly showed every individual who entered through the West Wing entrance that day.

However, none were interviewed by the Secret Service, with the agency citing the FBI’s inability to collect sufficient DNA evidence to identify a suspect.

Former President Donald Trump had publicly criticized the handling of the case and suggested it reflected broader dysfunction within the administration.

Dan Bongino, former Secret Service agent and current FBI Deputy Director, recently confirmed that his office is now re-examining the matter. “We didn’t know what it was, and we don’t seem to have answers,” Bongino said. “Well, we’re going to get them.”

Crabtree’s investigation also alleges retaliation within the agency. After Macauley supported preserving the evidence, he was passed over for promotion.

Instead, Cheatle hired retired agent Mike Buck to serve as Uniformed Division Chief. Following President Trump’s re-election and the appointment of new Secret Service Director Sean Curran, Buck was removed, and Macauley was promoted.

Cheatle, who previously worked as head of global security for PepsiCo, was recommended for her Secret Service role by then-First Lady Jill Biden. She stepped down from her position after the July 13, 2024, attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

As more details emerge, scrutiny is intensifying around both the handling of the cocaine case and the culture of decision-making inside the Biden White House during Cheatle’s tenure.
