A powdery substance discovered by the Secret Service at the White House on Sunday was cocaine, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, as questions linger about how the drug got into the building
After the testing reports confirmed that substance was nothing but “cocaine”
The discovery of the substance caused a brief shutdown of the White House after Secret Service officers found it in a common storage area on the ground floor of the West Wing, which houses the Oval Office and offices of some of the president’s top aides and support staff. The official said it was found in a zip-close bag near an entrance where visitors taking tours are directed to leave their phones.
Secret Service agents found the powder during a routine inspection in an area that is accessible to tour groups.
President Joe Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland at the time.
Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly refuses to answer questions on the cocaine found in the West Wing.

“It was in one of the cubbies,” a source familiar with the investigation told Reuters.
“Cocaine is a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning it has a high potential for abuse, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration.”
The president thinks it’s very important to get to the bottom of this,” Jean-Pierre said
