FORMER Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was accused of wanting to destroy cocaine evidence found in the White House last July.
Cheatle recently resigned from his position following backlash over his handling of the July 13 assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
New information has now emerged about his tenure in the White House.
Last July, the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service found a bag of cocaine in the White House while President Biden was at Camp David.
The officer who located the bag informed Cheatle and Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe of his discovery, who told him to follow specific investigative protocol, three sources said. Really clear policy.
The officer was then removed from the case and heated conversations ensued about how best to handle the incident.

The Secret Service Forensic Services Division and Uniformed Division responded to Cheatle, who wanted to keep the discovery secret.
Cheatle reportedly didn’t want to trigger a media firestorm, sources told RCP.

The police officer who discovered the narcotics was not part of Biden’s regular detail, as the president was absent from the White House.
