Former President Donald Trump on Monday questioned whether President Joe Biden is “on cocaine” in a shocking new rant denouncing his indictment in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

Seeking to capitalize on the scandal over cocaine found at the White House, Trump made the outlandish claim that Biden might be using illegal drugs while also repeating false claims that Biden ordered the search of his Florida resort home.

“Was Crooked Joe Biden on Cocaine when he instructed the FBI/DOJ to illegally invade my home, Mar-a-Lago,” Trump asked on his social media site. “Was he on Cocaine, or various other substances, when he, for the first time in U.S. history, had his political opponent … indicted and arrested.”

Trump accused the White House of covering up the discovery of a small packet of cocaine in an area often used by visitors.

He claimed without offering any evidence that the drugs could have belonged to the president or his son, Hunter, a recovering substance abuser.

“If they don’t release information, it means they destroyed the tapes &the Cocaine was for use by Hunter, &probably Crooked Joe, in order to give this total disaster of a President a little life and energy!” Trump said.

The Secret Service says it’s investigating the cocaine find. But it’s unlikely to identify who brought it into the White House because so many people use the area where it was found.
