In 2023, Donald Trump Jr. said cocaine is 'not my thing.'
This wasn't the first time the podcast host was accused of doing drugs, though during a 2023 Turning Point Action Conference, he insisted he doesn't use cocaine.
The topic came up while discussing the scandal in which the substance was found inside the White House while Joe Biden was president.
"According to Twitter, it was mine. You have the world’s most famous crackhead in residence. And somehow, it was mine, according to Twitter," Don Jr. stated, referring to the former president's son Hunter Biden, who has struggled with drug abuse. "I haven’t been there in like three years. I mean, think about that…"
"My guys who I stayed in touch with — many of them just dear friends — they’re like, ‘Hey dude, there’s no way you would’ve gotten away with that.’ I go, ‘I know!’ Luckily, I don’t snort cocaine! Like, it’s just not my thing," he declared.
