Secret Service Investigates Cocaine Found at White House; Hunter Biden Catches July 4th Fireworks with Joe at WH — Hours After Possible Cocaine Found on Premises; GOP Senator Demands to Know If Cocaine Found at WH was Discovered in Area ‘confidential information is exchanged’
Secret Service investigates cocaine found at White House:
The US Secret Service is investigating how cocaine was found at the White House on Sunday night, with visitor logs and footage combed for clues.
The discovery in the West Wing, which contains the Oval Office and other working areas for presidential aides and staff, led to a brief evacuation.
Secret Service agents found the powder during a routine inspection in an area that is accessible to tour groups.
President Joe Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland at the time.
A senior law enforcement official told the BBC’s US partner CBS News the substance was found in a storage facility routinely used by White House staff and guests to store mobile phones.
The White House complex was closed as a precaution at around 20:45 local time (00:45 GMT) on Sunday after it was discovered.
A preliminary test later confirmed the substance was cocaine.
The Secret Service will lead a full review of how it got into the White House, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday.
White House staff are permitted to give tours of some parts of the West Wing to friends and family. Visitors who are not accredited staff must store mobile phones and other personal belongings in cubicles.
“It was in one of the cubbies,” a source familiar with the investigation told Reuters. —>READ MORE HERE
Hunter Biden catches July 4th fireworks with Joe at White House — hours after possible cocaine found on premises:
First son Hunter Biden joined his father and other members of the Biden family at the White House Tuesday to take in the Fourth of July fireworks following a weekend getaway to Camp David — during which a powdered substance found in the West Wing initially tested positive for cocaine.
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden were accompanied on the balcony of the South Portico by Hunter Biden, his son Beau Jr., first daughter Ashley Biden and other members of the first family.
“Welcome to your house, the White House. We’re just rentin’,” the 80-year-old president told military families, National Park Service staff and their families, and members of his administration and their families during brief remarks Tuesday night.
The Bidens and others in attendance for the president and the first lady’s Independence Day celebration had front-row seats to the fireworks spectacular over the National Mall.
Attendees were also treated to musical performances by the United States Military’s Premier Bands, Grammy Award-winning country musicians Brothers Osborne and three-time Grammy Award-winning musician Ne-Yo, among other artists, according to the White House. ––>READ MORE HERE
