Cocaine Not the Only Drug Found in the White House, Secret Service Says

Cocaine was not the only drug that the United States Secret Service (USSS) discovered in the White House according to an agency spokesperson, who said that marijuana had been discovered in the building twice in 2022.

โ€œPer the Secret Service Uniformed Division, small amounts of marijuana were found on two occasions in 2022 (June and September),โ€ a spokesperson for the USSS confirmed to The Epoch Times.

They added, โ€œNo one was arrested in these incidents because the weight of the marijuana confiscated did not meet the legal threshold for federal charges or DC misdemeanor criminal charges as the District of Columbia had decriminalized possession. The marijuana was collected by officers and destroyed.โ€

According to federal law, possession of any amount of marijuana, even for personal use, is a Class A misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine.

The discovery that marijuana had been found in the White House came after earlier findings revealed that cocaine had been discovered in a high-security wing of the building.

On July 5, the USSS revealed that agents had uncovered a white, powdery substance in the White House.

It was first identified as an โ€œunknown itemโ€ and prompted a brief evacuation.

The USSS later revealed that an investigation of the substance had confirmed that it was cocaine.

Initially, it was reported that the drug was discovered in the relatively low-security wing of the White House; however, it has since been revealed that it was actually discovered near the West Executive Entrance, an area with substantially beefier security measures.

โ€˜Investigation Closed Due to Lack of Evidenceโ€™

In a July 13 press statement, the USSS announced that it had concluded the investigation into the cocaine without reaching any conclusions about the source of the drug.

โ€œThe substance and packaging underwent further forensic testing,โ€ the statement said, saying that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had carried out substance, fingerprint, and DNA analysis on the powder โ€œgiven their expertise in this area and independence from the investigation.โ€
