Oddsmakers Put Hunter at the Top of the List – Watch
Oddsmakers are not pulling punches and have listed President Joe Biden’s son Hunter as the most likely source of the cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House over the weekend.
According to online betting site BetOnline.ag, the odds — originally +200 — are +170 (around 37%) that Hunter Biden will be identified as the owner of the “white powdery substance” that was found in a dime-sized bag at the White House on Sunday.
The oddsmakers have also provided odds on a number of other White House residents, staffers, and recent guests.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce follows Hunter Biden on the list of potential culprits with odds of +800. He recently visited the White House as a guest.
Other possibilities include “one of the Jonas Brothers” (+1000), actress Angelina Jolie (+1400), a member of Louisiana State University’s NCAA championship team (+1400), Snoop Dogg (+1600), and actor Matthew McConaughey or actress and singer Selena Gomez (+2500).
NBC White House Correspondent Mike Memoli spoke to MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell and said that it was found in a highly-trafficked area of the West Wing and could potentially have been left there by a visitor to the White House.
“So to recap on the developments that we’ve been reporting on yesterday, this was found, we understand, in a highly-trafficked common area of the West Wing. It’s an area where individuals, especially visitors, individuals who may be coming for, for instance, say private tour, might have been asked to leave some of their personal belongings before heading into more sensitive areas of the West Wing,” Memoli said.
But Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary, pointed to apparent discrepancies between initial reports — that the cocaine had been found in the library — and follow-ups that indicated a more public area of the West Wing and suggested that the administration was attempting to spin the story away from Hunter Biden.
“What gibberish. A West Wing ‘work area’?” he tweeted. “With the exception of the WH Mess and the bathrooms, the entire West Wing is a work area. Where exactly was the cocaine found? In whose office? In the Sit Room? In the private office next to the Oval? Where?”
