In case anyone doubted that the Secret Service was engaged in a cover-up over the cocaine baggie found in the White House in 2022 — it was.
The latest reports: As soon as a uniformed officer found the drugs and notified disgraced ex-Director Kim Cheatle that he wanted to follow certain crime scene protocols, the retaliations began — starting with that officer allegedly being taken off the case.
Leadership apparently began to pressure forensics workers to stop trying to find DNA matches, and sought to avoid interviewing the hundreds of people with access to the space where the drugs were found.
And at some point, Cheatle reportedly demanded that agents destroy the evidence, then threw a hissy fit when her demands ran up against conscientious subordinates who pointed out a seven-year retention policy. (The Secret Service denies this happened.)
Kover-up Kim — who was far more focused on DEI nonsense than actually doing her job — also allegedly retaliated against a black veteran agent for daring to stand up to her on the drug destruction issue, passing him over for promotion.
