Cocaine found at the White House; (one of the most guarded buildings in the world) in an area frequently used by visitors on tours.
According to officials, the cocaine that was found at the White House was left in a location that was often utilized by tourists taking tours, and not while President Joe Biden and his family were on the premises
Details about the drug’s discovery on Sunday at one of the most closely guarded buildings in the world started to surface, as the White House tried to get the highly unusual story under control.
Initial reports of a white powder raised concerns about the type of incident that frequently happens in government buildings in Washington, DC, where unusual powders discovered during searches or received by mail are treated as potential chemical attacks.
This prompted a brief evacuation. But an entirely new set of alarms went off when preliminary analysis by technicians from the city’s fire department determined the substance was actually cocaine.
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.”

Biden has made a priority of restoring traditional decorum to the White House after the Donald Trump years, which included reports that the Republican president had a habit of flushing documents down toilets.
However, the 80-year-old Democrat has been dogged by salacious reporting over his son Hunter’s troubled private life, not least the trained lawyer’s well-documented battle with severe drug addiction.
The cocaine revelation immediately sparked unsubstantiated speculation in right-wing circles that the recovering drug user was somehow responsible.
Trump himself jumped on the bandwagon Wednesday with a typically rambling, insult-laden message that included: “Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden?”
