Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) underwent surgery Tuesday morning after she was admitted to a Colorado hospital and doctors found she had an acute blood clot, her campaign said.
Boebert, 37, was admitted to UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado, after she experienced swelling in her leg, according to a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/laurenboebert/posts/pfbid02mzadSWknemesgQEGFZt97nqzduL1Cb89fvYksuEQ4dMnbRn48sKPS7MBUSE9mHHQl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> released on Tuesday by her campaign. Upon undergoing a CT scan, doctors found that Boebert had an acute blood clot and diagnosed her with May-Thurner Syndrome, a <a href="https://www.upmc.com/services/heart-vascular/conditions-treatments/may-thurner-syndrome#:~:text=May%2DThurner%20syndrome%20is%20a%20rare%20vascular%20condition%20that%20affects,leading%20to%20narrowing%20and%20scarring." target="_blank" rel="noopener">rare condition</a> that affects a vein in a person’s pelvis. Doctors completed a successful surgery on Boebert Tuesday morning, removing the blood clot and inserting a stent.
“We successfully performed surgery on the Congresswoman this morning and expect her to make a full recovery,” said Dr. Rebecca Bade. “Patients with May-Thurner Syndrome who undergo the procedure to restore blood flow are able to live and work just as they have in the past after a brief recovery.”
The statement from Boebert’s campaign added that May-Thurner Syndrome is more likely to affect women between the ages of 20-45 who have given birth. The Republican congresswoman thanked doctors at UCHealth and said she looks forward to returning to her work in Congress.
“I want to thank Dr. Rebecca Bade and the entire team at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies for their great care and providing helpful insight on my recent diagnosis,” Boebert said. “I&#8217;m looking forward to making a full recovery and getting back to Congress to continue fighting for Colorado.&#8221;
Boebert is currently in a heated GOP primary as she seeks to win the House seat for Colorado’s 4th district. Boebert <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lauren-boebert-swapping-districts-for-2024-re-election-bid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> late last year that she would switch districts and run for the seat of Republican Rep. Ken Buck, who retired earlier this year. A special election to replace Buck for the remainder of his term will be held on June 25, coinciding with the Republican primary election.
Boebert is not running to replace Buck immediately since she will serve out the remainder of her second term representing the 3rd district, but she is a candidate in the primary election, where she <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/who-candidates-running-colorados-congressional-district-4-special-election-primary-elections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faces</a> 10 other Republican candidates vying to be on the ballot for the 4th district in November.
The firebrand congresswoman, who has represented Colorado’s 3rd district since 2021, won against Democrat Adam Frisch by just 546 votes in the 2022 election, and Frisch is seeking the 3rd district seat again this year.

“I cannot put into words how grateful I am for everyone who has steadfastly stood alongside me over the past year and beyond,” she said in December. “I am going to do everything in my power to represent the 3rd District well for the remainder of this term as I work to earn the trust of grassroots conservative voters in the 4th District to represent them in 2025.”

The eldest son of Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lauren-boebert" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lauren Boebert</a> (R-CO) was arrested this week in connection to a string of property thefts and vehicle trespasses, according to police.
The Rifle Police Department said that Tyler Jay Boebert, 18, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon over &#8220;a recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts in Rifle.&#8221;
&#8220;Boebert is facing the following charges: four felony counts of Criminal Possession ID Documents &#8211; Multiple Victims, one felony count of Conspiracy to Commit a Felony, and over 15 additional misdemeanor and petty offenses,&#8221; police said. &#8220;This is an ongoing investigation, no further information will be released at this time.&#8221;
CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lauren-boebert-son-arrested-tyler/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&amp;linkId=341353928" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that records from the Garfield County Jail showed that Tyler Boebert was being held on 22 charges. He was released after posting $1,250 bond and will next appear in court in early April.
&#8220;I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn&#8217;t ask for,&#8221; Lauren Boebert said in a statement. &#8220;It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and, in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track.&#8221;
&#8220;As an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen,&#8221; she added.

The incident comes as Lauren Boebert has had a lot going on in her personal life — mostly centering around her divorce from Jayson Boebert, to whom she was married for 17 years. Some of the drama has garnered media headlines.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) came to Boebert&#8217;s defense after the story about her son surfaced on Wednesday afternoon.
&#8220;This is a family in crisis and the recreational cruelty I see on social media needs to be out of bounds,&#8221; Fetterman said. &#8220;I know the impact this has on children. I&#8217;m calling for restraint because cruelty has substantial collateral damage. We can&#8217;t ever forget that they didn&#8217;t sign up for this.&#8221;

Rep. Lauren Boebert&#8217;s (R-CO) ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, was arrested on multiple charges this week stemming from two separate incidents.
Law enforcement officials in Colorado arrested Jayson Boebert on six criminal charges on Tuesday, including third-degree assault, harassment, prohibited use of weapons, obstructing a peace officer, disorderly conduct, trespassing and obstruction of a police officer.
USA Today <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/01/10/lauren-boebert-ex-husband-punch-assault/72172775007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the first set of charges stemmed from an incident that unfolded over the weekend at a restaurant in Lauren Boebert&#8217;s district in which Jayson Boebert called police and alleged that she hit him.
Upon investigation, police <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-investigation-clears-lauren-boebert-of-domestic-violence-allegations-from-ex-husband-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on Wednesday that there was no evidence that Lauren Boebert attacked her ex-husband.
Police said that when they arrived on the scene, Lauren Boebert was “cooperative with law enforcement” during their initial contact with her while her ex-husband “was highly intoxicated, yelling at officers, and was uncooperative with the investigation.”
“Although he claimed he had been punched in the face, officers observed no marks or injury on Jayson Boebert to corroborate he had actually been assaulted,” police said in a statement. “Staff at Miner’s Claim restaurant requested Jayson leave the restaurant due to the level of disturbance he was creating. Officers requested Jayson Boebert to leave the restaurant multiple times; however, he was uncooperative and was physically removed from the restaurant by law enforcement personnel.”

Police said that he later recanted any claims of domestic violence that he made against his ex-wife. He was charged with third degree criminal trespass and disorderly conduct stemming from the incident.
The remaining charges that he faces stemmed from a separate incident that unfolded on Tuesday when police received a call from Tyler Boebert, the former couple&#8217;s oldest son, who &#8220;told a dispatcher that his father had pushed him to the ground, put his hand in his mouth, and thrown his phone across the house,&#8221; Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jayson-boebert-son-911-call-lauren-boebert-many-guns-2024-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. &#8220;When Jayson heard the 911 call, Tyler also said that his dad had grabbed a rifle but he couldn&#8217;t give an exact description since &#8216;there was many firearms in the residence and [he] was unable to say what type of rifle it was.&#8217; Tyler also said during the call that he suspected his father was under the influence of alcohol.&#8221;

Politics

Law enforcement officials in Colorado announced this week that they have closed the investigation into Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lauren-boebert" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lauren Boebert</a> (R-CO) after her ex-husband alleged that she punched him in the face at a restaurant last week.
Boebert’s ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, called police and claimed he was a “victim of domestic violence” and said that the congresswoman had “punched” him in the face several times at Miner’s Claim restaurant in Boebert’s district on Saturday, according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/07/lauren-boebert-ex-husband/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>.
Silt Police said that when they arrived on the scene, Lauren Boebert was &#8220;cooperative with law enforcement&#8221; during their initial contact with her while her ex-husband &#8220;was highly intoxicated, yelling at officers, and was uncooperative with the investigation.&#8221;
&#8220;Although he claimed he had been punched in the face, officers observed no marks or injury on Jayson Boebert to corroborate he had actually been assaulted,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;Staff at Miner&#8217;s Claim restaurant requested Jayson leave the restaurant due to the level of disturbance he was creating. Officers requested Jayson Boebert to leave the restaurant multiple times; however, he was uncooperative and was physically removed from the restaurant by law enforcement personnel.&#8221;
Police said that the restaurant had no video surveillance and no witnesses have come forward to provide any sort of a statement or video footage of the incident that substantiates any claim made by Jayson Boebert that evening.

&#8220;Furthermore, Jayson Boebert contacted Silt Police to recant any claims of domestic violence,&#8221; the statement concluded. &#8220;Due to a lack of any evidence, the allegations of Domestic Violence against Rep. Lauren Boebert are unfounded and the investigation into Rep. Lauren Boebert is closed.&#8221;

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-gaetz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Gaetz</a> (R-FL) filed a &#8220;motion to vacate the chair&#8221; this week after the GOP-controlled House passed a short-term spending bill to avert a government shutdown. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-fires-back-at-the-8-republicans-who-upended-his-speakership">Eight Republicans</a> joined with Democrats in a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023519">216-210</a> vote that ousted McCarthy, who later <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBNgruEBPIo">said</a> he would not run again for the speaker&#8217;s gavel.

There has also been some chatter about former President Donald Trump taking on the role, as the Constitution <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/opinion/kevin-mccarthy-house-speaker-vote.html">does not require</a> a speaker to be a sitting member of the House, even while Trump is running a 2024 campaign for a second term in the White House.
A simple majority is needed to secure victory in a chamber-wide vote. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is serving as a temporary speaker in the interim.

You know, we’re so politically divided in this country, I feel it’s incumbent upon me to search for ways to bring us together. But how can we unite Republicans, with their deep commitment to discerning the central principles of the ordinary American and then selling them out to the first corporate lobbyist who offers them a Rolex and a campaign contribution, and the Democrats, with their bottomless creativity in inventing beautiful ideals like equity, social justice and women’s rights in order to legitimize racism, looting and infanticide?
Well, I thought about it, and after long hours of serious cogitation and enough alcohol to make an elephant think he’s a gazelle with cellulite, I finally realized that there is one thing that brings both Republicans and Democrats together, and that’s their abiding love of sexual degradation.
In the Southern California city of Burbank, for instance, the Democrat mayor Konstantine Anthony recently had himself filmed getting spanked by a drag queen. Although conservatives mocked the mayor for… well, for getting spanked by a drag queen, Konstantine defended his actions. In a speech delivered to a bathroom mirror with a towel thrown over it so he wouldn’t have to look at his own face, the mayor said, “No matter what anyone says, today is a great day for emasculating sexual perversion. By having my butt paddled by a man dressed as a woman, I have made the historic breakthrough of participating in the 17-thousand five hundred and fifty-sixth act of sexual deviance committed in Burbank in the last hour and a half.”
On the Republican side, the New York Post reports that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been having a long-time affair with repulsive Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski. Noem, a married mother of three who frequently cites her Christian values, absolutely denies the affair, saying the tryst would be a clear violation of the Biblical commandment, “Thou shalt not commit adultery with repulsive Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski.” Even if the story is true, some conservatives defend Noem, saying hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue. But, of course, that quote comes from a Frenchman, so it only sounds good, and only in French. In fact, the tribute vice pays to virtue is a stiff fine and possible imprisonment.
Now since the Democrat party has sacrificed so many unborn children on the altar of hedonistic sex that the demon God Moloch has volunteered to head the DNC, it seems petty to pick on Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert for her relatively minor improprieties. After all, if a grown woman wants to get drunk and vape and sing out loud and grope her lover’s crotch while he grabs her breast during a live performance of a family-friendly musical and then lie about it, that shouldn’t affect our perception of her character unless we happen to be trying to watch the damn play. But the incident did leave Boebert open to political attacks from Democrats, who were quick to point out that such a person could never be a Democrat woman because she doesn’t have a penis.
So all in all, one thing has become very clear. It’s become very clear why I have no friends who are politicians. First of all, I never cheat on my wife so where would I meet them? Also, because I say stuff like this.
But the real question is: Does it truly matter that Republicans are so sexually depraved that they don’t practice what they preach and Democrats are so sexually depraved that they actually do practice what they preach? I mean, the elites of the Roman Empire were so steeped in sexual debauchery that I still think about the Roman Empire every single day. Isn’t it more important that, no matter how many issues divide them, our leaders can still share their personal values of getting spanked by drag queens and cheating on their spouses? Isn’t that what our founding fathers intended when they talked about the pursuit of happiness?
Okay, probably not. But still — what difference does it make if our leaders are a bunch of perverted, dishonest, unreliable deviants who betray every reasonable notion of decency in order to get their rocks off — as long as they’re doing such a great job running our country?
I think that’s a question that answers itself.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lauren-boebert" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lauren Boebert&#8217;s</a> (R-CO) estranged husband asked the public in a social media post to be nice to Boebert as she faces fallout from a video that emerged of her being thrown out of a theater after she and another man were causing a disturbance and appear to have been groping each other.
Jayson Boebert&#8217;s message comes after Lauren Boebert issued an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boebert-apologizes-for-getting-thrown-out-of-beetlejuice-performance-after-video-emerges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apology</a> this week over the incident at the Buell Theater, saying her actions “fell short of my values.” She also <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4211546-lauren-boebert-breaks-it-off-with-beetlejuice-date/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that she would not be going on another date with the man that she went to the theater with, in part because of reports that the man was a Democrat.
&#8220;Watching the attacks against Lauren, I feel the people should know the truth of our broken marriage and burden she has carried for too long,&#8221; Jayson Boebert wrote on Facebook. &#8220;I want to start out by acknowledging that Lauren has always been an exceptional wife, mother and now grandmother. She has provided me with love, support, and honored me through every misstep.&#8221;
Jayson repeatedly talked about the &#8220;pain&#8221; that he caused his wife and that he &#8220;deeply regrets&#8221; his actions, which he said ended their marriage.
&#8220;I was unfaithful to Lauren in so many ways,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I should have always brought my best just as she did. My actions were selfish and thoughtless, and I failed to consider the consequences they would ultimately have on the person I hold dearest in my heart.&#8221;
&#8220;This has been a devastating divorce that I hold all responsibility for,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It upsets me that everyone believes she left me over fame or a new lifestyle. That is far from the truth. Then again, most of what’s said about our family is untrue. Another battle we have faced together for too long. Much of this is on me because the problem starts at the root. I am the root.&#8221;
Jayson said that he has &#8220;embarked on a journey of self-reflection and personal growth&#8221; and that he is &#8220;committed to becoming a better man, one who can fully appreciate and reciprocate the love and kindness that has been demonstrated to me.&#8221;

&#8220;Lauren, if you are reading this, please know that I am dedicated to doing everything in my power to rebuild the trust that has been shattered,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I stand behind you. You are the hardest working person I know, selfless and overflowing with love. I hate the attacks that are coming your way. In part, this is my fault and you don’t deserve this.&#8221;
&#8220;I am asking for you all to show grace and mercy towards Lauren in this troubling season,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;She deserves a chance to earn your forgiveness and regain trust. I have broke her down in so many ways, but she will come out stronger as she always does, and so will I.&#8221;

Boebert’s Estranged Husband Posts Statement After Theater Incident: ‘I Was Unfaithful To Lauren’

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lauren-boebert" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lauren Boebert</a> (R-CO) released a statement late this week apologizing for her actions that led to her being thrown out of a “Beetlejuice” musical last weekend.
Denver Arts &amp; Venues said in a statement that they received three different complaints that Boebert and her <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12513549/Lauren-Boebert-mystery-man-revealed-DEMOCRAT-bar-owner-Quinn-Gallagher-secretly-dating-month.html">new boyfriend</a> were “vaping, singing, causing a disturbance.”
The report said that the couple were repeatedly warned after Boebert was caught vaping and they &#8220;were causing a disturbance for the area with noise, singing, [and] using their cell phone.&#8221;
&#8220;The patrons were argumentative,&#8221; the statement said as officials warned them that if it continued, they would be kicked out. They were later told that they needed to leave and that if they did not, they were then trespassing and the police would be called.
A spokesperson for Boebert said that she was not vaping during the performance and that &#8220;heavy fog machines and electronic cigarettes were used during the show, so there might have been &#8216;a misunderstanding from someone sitting near her,'&#8221; The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/13/lauren-boebert-beetlejuice-musical-ejected/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Surveillance video from inside the Buell Theater obtained by local media, however, appears to show otherwise. Footage also appears to show the two groping each other.

Boebert released a <a href="https://coloradosun.com/2023/09/15/lauren-boebert-apology-beetlejuice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on Friday night apologizing for her actions, saying that they &#8220;fell short of my values.&#8221;
&#8220;The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community,&#8221; Boebert’s statement said. &#8220;While none of my actions or words as a private citizen that night were intended to be malicious or meant to cause harm, the reality is they did and I regret that.&#8221;
&#8220;There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That’s unacceptable and I’m sorry.&#8221;

Four Republican House lawmakers responded forcefully on Friday to a reporter who asked how transgender surgeries for members of the U.S. military would affect battle readiness.
The lawmakers gave a press briefing about the annual Defense Department budget, which includes amendments <a href="https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/07/14/republicans-national-defense-authorization-act-pass/3491689355409/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blocking</a> the military for paying for abortion-related expenses as well as transgender hormone treatments and surgeries.
The House narrowly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-moves-to-block-funding-for-abortion-travel-as-lawmakers-prepare-to-vote-on-military-spending">passed</a> the defense budget on Friday.
&#8220;Can you elaborate a little bit on how transgender reassignment surgery might impede battlefield readiness?&#8221; a reporter asked.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), a combat veteran and retired Army brigadier general, responded that the military is about the &#8220;needs of the nation&#8221; over the desires of individuals.

&#8220;There are many people who want to serve in many capacities who are unable to. If you&#8217;re allergic to bee stings, if you have Type 1 diabetes, though you might want to serve, you cannot. If you want to fly an F-16 but can&#8217;t correct your vision appropriately, you cannot fly an F-16 or anything else,&#8221; Perry said. &#8220;What the military is about is what the needs of the nation are from a national security standpoint. When they marry up with your desires, that&#8217;s an awesome and great circumstance, but when they don&#8217;t, the needs of the nation come first.&#8221;
&#8220;You have to look at it as, &#8216;How does this enhance readiness and lethality?'&#8221; Perry added. &#8220;If it does not enhance readiness and lethality, it does not belong.&#8221;
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) then took the podium and said that for every dollar the military spends on transgender surgeries, it has to spend four more dollars on the psychological care that accompanies the surgeries.
&#8220;So why we would engage in an activity that causes an even accelerated cost structure around psych is very strange to me, and I&#8217;m very grateful we got amendments to stop paying for those surgeries,&#8221; Gaetz said.
Gaetz said transgender medical treatments were also pulling money from the Exceptional Family Member Program, which he said was supposed to be for military family members with a &#8220;unique heart ailment&#8221; or other serious issues.
&#8220;That pot of money was getting robbed for people to go get gender blockers and embrace radical gender theory,&#8221; Gaetz said.
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) responded as well.
&#8220;The Left is perfectly willing to take that child of a military veteran who has Down syndrome, who has chronic illnesses, they&#8217;re perfectly willing to assign [those] dollars to transgender surgery,&#8221;  Norman said.
Norman added that he thinks a trans-identifying person should not be on a battlefield in the first place.
&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, first of all, you don&#8217;t want people in a battlefield who are trying to decide if they&#8217;re a man or a woman,&#8221; Norman said. &#8220;Decide that before you go in.&#8221;
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a 25-year Navy physician who served in the White House, said the military in general does not pay for elective procedures, and gender surgeries and hormone treatments &#8220;clearly fit into that category.&#8221;
Jackson added that between hormone treatments and surgeries, medical gender transitions can take over a year.
&#8220;During this entire time, these individuals are not deployable, so someone else is going to do a second deployment in their place during this process. That&#8217;s not fair to the other members of the military,&#8221; Jackson said.
The defense budget now goes to the Democrat-controlled Senate, which is working on its own version of the budget.

Colorado GOP Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lauren-boebert" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lauren Boebert</a> said on Thursday that cocaine was not the first drug discovered at the White House during the Biden administration, according to a new report. 
Boebert said that marijuana had been found at the White House twice since 2022, according to Just the News. Boebert&#8217;s comments come after the Secret Service announced that it had closed the probe into the cocaine found at the White House without any suspects. 
&#8220;This is the third time that drugs have been found on the White House property since 2022, and we did not even hear about the marijuana,&#8221; she <a href="https://hannity.com/media-room/drug-den-boebert-briefed-on-cocaine-probe-says-drugs-found-three-times-at-white-house-since-2022/">said</a>. &#8220;I certainly did not hear about the marijuana that was found in 2022, two times, and now there&#8217;s cocaine on the property. So everything they do is to move along to the next story. They know there will be another Biden crime crisis.”
NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/secret-service-briefs-house-oversight-members-cocaine-found-white-hous-rcna94045" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that uniformed division officers had previously found marijuana possessed by two White House guests. The marijuana was reportedly in quantities under Washington, D.C.&#8217;s legal limit, and the visitors were still instructed not to bring marijuana back to the White House.
Boebert was one of the lawmakers who attended a closed meeting with the Secret Service about the investigation into the cocaine after House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shameful-top-republican-announces-investigation-into-cocaine-at-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked for a briefing</a> on the incident. 
“I was informed in this morning&#8217;s SCIF meeting that the Cocaine Culprit investigation will be terminated with more than 500 potential perpetrators remaining,” Boebert <a href="https://twitter.com/RepBoebert/status/1679545919509766156" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. “We cannot allow this to happen. The American people deserve to know who smuggled cocaine into the White House!”
The Secret Service was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/secret-service-closes-investigation-into-cocaine-found-at-white-house-with-no-suspects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unable to determine</a> a suspect after investigators reviewed surveillance footage and visitor logs, determining that both surveillance footage and forensic evidence could not generate any leads. 
According to a source who spoke with NBC, the leading theory is that someone on a tour left the illicit substance at the White House. 
The explanation from the Secret Service left many Republicans unsatisfied, with some suggesting a coverup.

“Just left the most ridiculous meeting of all time with the Secret Service on the cocaine that was found in the White House,” Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12295945/Secret-Service-CLOSING-White-House-cocaine-investigation-WITHOUT-finding-suspects.html">said</a> after the briefing. “It turns out – they don’t know who did it. The investigation is going to be over at the end of the week, and they’re not going to find out who did it. And that’s basically it.”
“Another coverup,&#8221; he added. “You know, it’s the most secure building in the entire world. Nobody, not even the press, goes in there without them knowing.”
Boebert said the investigation yielded no results &#8220;because everything in this administration is about covering up for the Biden crime family.&#8221;
The discovery prompted widespread speculation that the cocaine could have belonged to Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s troubled son who has battled drug addiction in the past and has recently been seen at the White House. The younger Biden, who was <a href="https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/military/2014/10/17/ap-vps-son-hunter-biden-out-navy-due-failed-drug-test/15786435007/">kicked out of the Navy Reserves</a> in 2014 after testing positive for cocaine, is seen smoking crack and buying cocaine in numerous images and messages on the laptop he abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop.

The GOP-led House voted on Thursday to send articles of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> to a pair of committees.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) <a href="https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-boebert-moves-impeach-biden-over-border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brought forth</a> articles of impeachment, which <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/503/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuse</a> Biden of &#8220;high crimes and misdemeanors&#8221; over his administration&#8217;s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border, with a privileged resolution that would <a href="https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1671531299247476737" target="_blank" rel="noopener">force a vote</a> on the House floor, according to Boebert.
Some Republicans voiced opposition to a vote on impeachment in a way that bypassed committees, but House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) came to an agreement with Boebert that would allow the matter to move forward, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mccarthy-lauren-boebert-biden-impeachment-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Fox News</a>.
That plan, in which the House Rules Committee <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/529/text">referred the resolution</a> to the House Homeland Security and House Judiciary Committees, passed by a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023285" target="_blank" rel="noopener">219-208 vote along party lines</a> on Thursday.
&#8220;Today, I initiated historic impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden for his unconstitutional dereliction of duty at the southern border,&#8221; Boebert <a href="https://twitter.com/RepBoebert/status/1671951090483429378" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a tweet</a>. &#8220;For the first time in 24 years, House Republicans united to protect the separation of powers and start a formal impeachment inquiry.&#8221;
Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TX) said his committee, which is already investigating Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/chairman-green-announces-comprehensive-investigation-full-committee-hearing-to-examine-secretary-mayorkas-dereliction-of-duty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged dereliction of duty</a>, will also &#8220;dig into the actual actions of the president,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/22/politics/house-impeachment-biden-lauren-boebert/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to CNN</a>.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said his panel will look to the House Oversight Committee, which is <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/01/19/house-oversight-border-mayorkas-border-patrol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">running its own border inquiry</a>, for a report and that the Judiciary Committee will &#8220;move accordingly,&#8221; <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/06/22/house-biden-impeachment-committee-boebert" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per Axios</a>. Jordan also said the &#8220;primary jurisdiction&#8221; for the resolution rests with the Homeland Security Committee.

Democrats criticized Republicans for the effort geared toward impeaching Biden, characterizing it as frivolous.
“Nothing about this is serious — not the process, not the intentions of the resolution&#8217;s sponsor, not the impeachment case, not a single damn thing,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1671913539622035458" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA)</a>.
