The Issue: Cocaine found by the Secret Service in the West Wing lobby of the White House last week.

The White House cocaine scandal keeps changing (“WH flack Karine rips into Post,” July 8).

Isn’t it just amazing that President Biden hasn’t come out and announced what the public would expect from the nation’s leader — that the criminal perpetrator who brought the cocaine into the White House will be caught and severely prosecuted?

It was the fire department that was called to the White House and did the chemical analysis on the white powder and determined it was, in fact, cocaine. Thankfully, it wasn’t deadly poison.

Democrats can’t blame this one on Trump — but, as frustrated as they are, they’re probably trying to.

What a strange coincidence. Hunter is believed to be a drug abuser. Cocaine was never before found in the White House, as far as we know.

Yet the explanation of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as to how the cocaine got there is that it could have been left there by a visitor.

Why would anyone take the chance of walking into the White House with cocaine and then just leaving it there?

Unless he was making a delivery.

Incredibly, no White House spokesperson will clearly state that the cocaine found there did not belong to Joe or Hunter Biden. Does Team Biden not realize that this seems like tacit admission that it did?

Jean-Pierre dodged the question, refusing to give an answer. She seems oblivious to the obvious here: This is a question where any answer other than a “no” is a “yes.”

Given Biden’s propensity to take liberties with the truth, you’d think she’d just say “no,” even if it’s a lie. You have to wonder why the White House can’t find the words to deny it.

Given the security at the White House, someone knows whom it belongs to. If the claim is that the culprit can’t be found, that most likely means it’s Hunter.

It’s amazing that the Secret Service has a problem identifying the culprit who brought cocaine into the White House.

Go and counterfeit a few $20 or $50 bills and see how long it takes the government to find you.

The discovery of cocaine near the Situation Room in the White House requires a full-blown criminal investigation.

Whoever is found to be responsible must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If this contraband is traced back to Hunter Biden, it needs to be the last straw.

He has been an outrageous embarrassment to our nation and to the first family. If he is responsible for this latest find, law enforcement must not coddle him.

He needs to be charged, tried and — if convicted — jailed. Enough is enough with this jerk.

A white powder was found inside the West Wing of the White House, prompting an evacuation and elevated security alert until officials confirmed it was not anthrax.

Considering they let a lifelong doper have access to the White House, it’s no surprise it proved to be cocaine: nose candy for the jet-set crowd.

I foresee some on the left claiming the coke was planted by a MAGA supporter to make the Bidens look bad.

As there are security cameras all over the White House, it should not be too hard to find the culprit. The FBI or Secret Service might even have DNA or fingerprint evidence.

Cocaine being found in the White House is one thing, and hopefully it belonged to Hunter or another family member.

If it didn’t, and was left there by someone on a tour, a worker or a cleaning person, then it sets a dangerous precedent — imagine how easy it would be to sneak in anthrax or ricin.

Most addicts fall off the wagon. If that’s what happened, then this is only a fluke. But if this proves that security is lacking at the White House, we got trouble.
