House Oversight panel requests briefing from Secret Service on cocaine discovered in White House.
The House Oversight Committee Requests Briefing on Cocaine Found in White House
The House Oversight Committee is currently seeking a briefing from the Secret Service regarding the recent discovery of cocaine in the West Wing of the White House on Sunday night, as confirmed by a committee spokesperson.
The purpose of this briefing is to delve into the Secret Service’s security procedures at the White House, as Congress is responsible for funding the security measures employed by the Secret Service prior to individuals entering the White House grounds, the spokesperson explained.
Unrelated to Other Investigations
It is important to note that this briefing is separate from the Oversight Committee’s ongoing investigations, which may involve the Secret Service.
On Sunday, while President Joe Biden and his family were away, an unidentified white powdery substance was discovered in the West Wing. This prompted a temporary evacuation of the White House grounds as officials initially remained uncertain about the nature of the substance.
After conducting further tests, the Secret Service confirmed that the substance was indeed cocaine, as stated by a spokesperson in response to inquiries from the Washington Examiner.
ABC reports that the Secret Service is currently conducting an investigation to determine how the cocaine entered the building. The White House has clarified that the substance was found in an area of the West Wing accessible to tourists, contradicting earlier reports that it was discovered in the library.
