UNITED STATES — New details have emerged in the investigation of an illicit substance found in the White House, with sources now revealing that the bag of powder was discovered in a cubby near the West Executive entrance rather than the lobby.
The heavily trafficked area is used by visitors, VIPs, officials, and staff, with foot traffic expected to increase during the summer.
The Secret Service is leading the investigation and has reviewed security cameras, visitor logs, and carried out fingerprint and DNA analysis on the baggie.
Administration officials have downplayed the chances of finding those responsible for abandoning the drugs in one of the most secure areas of the White House.
The controversy has marred the Fourth of July celebrations as questions remain about how the substance entered the White House and who may have brought it.
