TED CRUZ defends Hunter
Ted Cruz has said he does not believe Hunter Biden was responsible for the cocaine found on the White House grounds - instead claiming it was a senior White House official.
'You know, there has been some irresponsible reporting about the family and so I've got to call that out here,' the press secretary said.
'And I have been very clear.' Cruz on Friday accused the White House of a 'cover up', which he said was 'astonishing'.
'You know, my guess is it probably isn't Hunter's,' said Cruz, speaking on Friday's episode of his podcast, Verdict.
'I don't know that, obviously. We know that Hunter has a drug problem. We know that he has used cocaine and use crack cocaine in the past.
'But I doubt Hunter Biden is going in the West Wing all that often and going in that entrance all that often.'
The Texas senator speculated that a 'senior Biden official' was responsible.
'I think it is in all likelihood someone who works in the Biden administration, some senior Biden official, which makes the cover-up all that the more astonishing,' he continued.
He said he was surprised that the Secret Service had not yet found who was responsible.
'That's insane,' he said. 'And the only reason they would put out a statement saying we will never know who it was, is the same reason why the DOJ and the FBI is engaged in a cover-up of Hunter Biden's acts of criminality, of Joe Biden's acts of criminality.
'Sadly, this administration is more than willing to politicize, look, it would be embarrassing if we discover that a senior White House aide is bringing cocaine into the west wing to do schedule-one, serious drugs in the White House.
'And so their answer instead is, of course, we're not going to prosecute it. We're not going to investigate it.
'And you know what, we'll just never know who did it.'
