WASHINGTON — Cocaine discovered at the White House was left in an area frequently used by visitors on tours — and not while President Joe Biden and his family were on the premises, officials said on Wednesday (July 5).
The White House sought to get the highly unusual story under control as details emerged of the drug's discovery on Sunday in one of the most carefully guarded buildings in the world.
On Wednesday, the US Secret Service, which protects the presidential mansion, announced it"just confirmed that substance found was cocaine and our investigation is ongoing". The cocaine revelation immediately sparked unsubstantiated speculation in right-wing circles that the recovering drug user was somehow responsible.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the narcotic had been found in an area routinely used by outsiders invited by White House staffers on tours of the West Wing, which includes the Oval Office.
