“Did Cocaine Give You Courage to Stand Up to Trump?”—Refuses to Answer [WATCH]

Maine’s Democrat Governor Janet Mills declined to respond to questions about her alleged past cocaine use when confronted during a recent public appearance, as new federal documents cast doubt on her longstanding claims that the investigation into her alleged drug use was politically motivated, as reported by Fox News.

Earlier this month, Mills was approached while touring Brodis Blueberries in Maine and asked, “Janet Mills, did cocaine give you the courage to stand up to President Trump at the governor’s breakfast?”

The question referred to a public dispute between Mills and President Trump during a National Governors Association meeting in February over the issue of biological men competing in women’s sports.

Mills laughed and walked away without addressing the question. A follow-up inquiry was posed: “Have you ever been under the influence while making critical decisions for the state of Maine?” Again, Mills did not respond.

Fox News Digital, which obtained the video, also reached out to Mills’ office for comment, but no response was provided.

The questioning follows recent reporting that contradicts Mills’ past statements regarding a 1990 federal investigation. At the time, Mills was serving as a district attorney in Maine when a drug suspect accused her of cocaine use.

The investigation involved the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Maine’s Bureau of Intergovernmental Drug Enforcement (BIDE).

Every media outlet in Maine ignored these documents re the Janet Mills cocaine investigation.

Though no charges were ever filed, Mills claimed the probe was politically motivated due to her opposition to BIDE’s tactics and her Democratic affiliation.

In a 1991 interview with the Portland Press Herald, Mills said, “It’s scary. Maine apparently has a secret police force at work that can ruin the reputation of any who opposes it.”

However, a March 1995 memorandum from the Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility, obtained by Fox News Digital, contradicts Mills’ assertions.

The memo stated that no misconduct occurred during the investigation, refuting Mills’ narrative of politically motivated targeting. The memo was addressed to the deputy attorney general’s office, where Merrick Garland was then serving as principal associate deputy attorney general.

The memo also noted that WCSH-TV had reported in December 1990 that Mills was being investigated by a federal grand jury for drug use. Mills filed a libel and slander suit against the reporter, but records from the case were disposed of in 2015.

A 1991 Lewiston Sun-Journal report suggested the court had dismissed the attempt to stop the rumors.

Mills was again confronted in Washington, D.C., earlier this month and responded, “What the f**k?” when asked if “sniffing cocaine at work” qualifies as a “human right.”

Though Mills is term-limited and not eligible for re-election as governor, her name has been floated as a potential Democratic challenger to Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the 2026 election.

In April, Mills said she had no current plans to run but acknowledged that “things change week to week, month to month.”
