White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s claim that no members of the Biden family were present at the White House in the days leading up to the discovery of a bag of cocaine in the West Wing has been contradicted by the Fox News press release about one of those days.
According to the pool report on Friday, June 30, Biden gave remarks in the Roosevelt Room that afternoon and did not leave the White House for Camp David until 6:34 p.m., along with First Lady Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, and Hunter’s son. Beau Biden.
However, Jean-Pierre claimed on Friday while responding angrily to a reporter’s question whether the cocaine belonged to a member of the Biden family, that they were not present at the White House that day.
WATCH: PRESS SECRETARY LOSES ON QUESTION WHETHER COCAINE BELONGS TO THE BIDEN FAMILY: ‘INCREDIBLELY IRRESPONSIBLE’

“They weren’t there Friday. They weren’t there Saturday. They weren’t there Sunday. They weren’t even there Monday. They came back Tuesday. So to ask that question is actually incredibly irresponsible,” she said.
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox’s request for comment.
The illegal drugs were discovered Sunday night by a member of the Secret Service at the entrance to the West Executive and have led to questions from the press about who may have brought them into the White House.

A source told Fox News Digital on Thursday that the Secret Service still has no suspects in the cocaine investigation and it is not clear whether the perpetrator will ever be found.
