Nikki Haley tells Tucker Carlson the White House cocaine MUST have belonged to Hunter Biden or ‘someone very close to the President’ – and calls dropping case a ‘cover-up’
- Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said the Secret Service’s shutdown of the White House cocaine probe was a “cover-up.”
- She said Friday in Iowa she believes the cocaine belongs to Hunter Biden or someone “very close to the President.”
- “It’s the safest area out there,” she said of the spot where it was discovered
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley called the Secret Service’s dropping of the White House cocaine probe a “cover-up” and brazenly claimed the drugs must have belonged to Hunter Biden or someone “very close to the President.”
Haley appeared at Friday’s Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa, where she sat down for an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Carlson was about to blame the Biden administration – without evidence – for the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline when Haley, the ambassador to the UN under former President Donald Trump, said the White House was “for nothing.” responsible,” noting the July 2 discovery of cocaine in the west wing.
“So I’m telling you, I strongly believe this is a cover-up by either … Hunter or someone very close to the President, and they don’t want to say who it is,” the former South Carolina governor told the crowd .
She dismissed the White House’s claim that “hundreds” of people had access to the area, arguing, “It’s the safest area around.”

“Here, in the National Security Council, I discuss the safest things with other members of the Security Council and the President.” I know the area where the locker is located. “People don’t just walk in and out of there,” she said.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Friday that the area was under construction and the situation room, which is nearby on this floor, is not currently in use.
Haley appeared unaware of this factor as she narrowed the perpetrator down to a shortlist of suspects.
“It’s either the President, the Vice President, the Cabinet, Cabinet members, or Deputy Directors.” “No one else goes in there,” Haley insisted. “There’s some staff, but it’s immediate.”
“I couldn’t take on any staff other than my deputy.” The president would take his chief of staff with him. “Very limited,” she recalls.
“To say they don’t know who that was.” Don’t tell me there aren’t any cameras. There are absolutely cameras in there,” the former ambassador added.
She also referenced the discovery of marijuana in the White House, which the Secret Service said happened twice on Thursday in 2022.
Hunter Biden was back on the West Coast Thursday after spending July 4th in the White House. On Friday, Nikki Haley joined the chorus of Republicans claiming – without evidence – that the White House cocaine belonged to the eldest son
“Why didn’t you do something about it?” she considered. “Who has time to go into the national security SCIF, open the locker and put drugs in it?”
“Like that’s a bigger problem,” she argued. “Because if someone using cocaine decides national security, that’s what I worry about.”
On Thursday, the Secret Service said the investigation into the cocaine case was complete and it was unable to identify the person who brought the cocaine onto campus and lost it in a storage room at the West Executive Avenue entrance.
A statement from the intelligence agency said: “No surveillance video footage was found that would provide investigative leads or other means for investigators to find out who might have dumped the found substance in the area.”
Investigators also couldn’t find fingerprints or DNA on the bag, so they “couldn’t compare the evidence to the known group of people.”
Also on Thursday, Hunter Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell sent a cease and desist letter to Trump’s legal team, urging the former president to tone down his rhetoric and also urging Trump to stop saying the White House cocaine belonged to the first son.
Republicans have claimed that the cocaine belonged to Hunter because he had a well-documented history of drug abuse and addiction — including in his memoir and in photos on what he called “H***’s laptop.”
