A member of Congress has revealed the U.S. Secret Service actually "destroyed" the bag containing cocaine found at the White House.

It's just the latest in a long series of scandals linked directly to the Joe Biden administration, ranging from suspicions of foreign bribes paid to Biden family members to Joe Biden's own use of taxpayer money successfully to coerce Ukraine to fire a prosecutor that was investigating corruption at the company paying Hunter Biden tens of thousands of dollars.

It is Newsmax that reported U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said the federal security service destroyed the cocaine baggie.

And that means there's no way to obtain enough DNA to identify who left it there. The White House has said the Bidens were away from the building at the time the cocaine was found, and the Secret Service said it was closing its investigation without attempting to identify a suspect.

"[The Secret Service] don't even have the key from the locker [where the cocaine was found] and they said originally 'we didn't find enough DNA,' now, and they went back and said, 'we didn't find any DNA,'" Burchett said during an interview on "The Chris Salcedo Show."

He said the Secret Service "apparently … destroyed the bag and any chance of getting any DNA."

Does the cocaine bag belong to Hunter Biden?

He recalled his term as mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, and said when a similar discovery happened there, police in hazmat suits would put the evidence into a bag and take it for analysis.

"I was Knox County mayor. When we found an unknown substance somewhere, we called on law enforcement are sheriff's department, the best in the country, and our police department, one of the best in the country, obviously to come in with hazmat suits to put in the bag and take it to a lab. That's exactly what they should have done here," he recalled.

"They should have taken it to Quantico and analyzed it, but instead, they destroyed the bag."

The illegal drug was found in a storage area near the Situation Room in the West Wing.

The Secret Service has denied the baggie yielded identifiable fingerprints and said security video does not show who left it there.

Burchett called it another cover-up.

The Western Journal had reported Tuesday that fingerprints actually were found on the bag of cocaine – and the owner of the drugs identified.

It was Soldier of Fortune magazine that said its sources "with direct knowledge of the investigation" confirmed the owner of the cocaine was identified.

The report did not include the name of that suspect, and official reports from the Secret Service have denied someone was identified.

The agency said investigators developed "an index of several hundred individuals who may have accessed the area where the substance was found. The focal point of these actions developed a pool of known persons for comparison of forensic evidence gleaned from the FBI’s analysis of the substance's packaging."

But the Secret Service said without physical evidence it could move no further.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Breitbart the Soldier of Fortune report was not accurate.

The Western Journal also reported that former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, now an influential commentator, said his fellow agents had been texting him and emailing him confirming the culprit actually was identified.

Such evidence suggests that the situation indeed has become another coverup by the Biden administration of wrongdoing.

"They are absolutely furious about this," he said. "I got 50 emails, communications, texts from people. 'This is embarrassing. Humiliating ... They know exactly who it was.'"

He pointed out that this part of the White House allows limited access, so "there's probably less than 200 people who could have left this cocaine," he said. "They gotta know who did it. The question is, who's pressuring them ... to not find out who did it. And it's gotta be coming from this White House."

Bongino referenced Hunter Biden's admissions of his status as a cocaine user and addict for years.

Bongino said the only real questions was, "Is it Hunter or one of his friends?"

"We never found coke in there before. You’ve got a dude who’s doing coke on tape, who’s got a reputation for being a coke addict. He’s living in the White House. He’s there on Friday. The coke’s found on Sunday, and everybody is like, 'Gosh, who could it be?'"

The Secret Service investigation apparently included no interviews at all.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America's ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came "January 6," a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated "an armed insurrection" (no protester was armed) against America.

Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.

The Deep State's never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump's persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president."
