The powder found over the weekend in the White House’s West Wing lobby has been confirmed as cocaine following two tests. President Biden thinks it is “incredibly important” for the Secret Service to determine how it got there, officials said Wednesday.
The powder found over the weekend in the White House’s West Wing lobby has been confirmed as cocaine following two tests. President Biden thinks it is “incredibly important” for the Secret Service to determine how it got there, officials said Wednesday.
U.S. Secret Service agents found the powder during a routine White House sweep on Sunday, in a small, clear plastic bag on the ground in a heavily trafficked area, according to three people, who were not authorized to speak about an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
On Wednesday, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the White House had confidence in the Secret Service. “The president thinks it’s incredibly important to get to the bottom of this,” she said.
