The photos showing mysterious cocaine discovered inside the White House over the summer were released after being obtained through a Secret Service Freedom of Information Act request by the Daily Mail.
The baggie of cocaine was initially discovered on July 2 in a locker near the entrance to the West Wing of the White House by a member of the Secret Service, prompting an evacuation of the building and an emergency response.
A test of the substance was then conducted, which came back positive for cocaine, the Secret Service told Fox News on July 5.

The discovery led the Secret Service to launch an investigation, which was later closed after the agency said it was “not able” to identify a suspect.
president biden was at Camp David at the time of the discovery of the substance. The president’s son, Hunter, who is a recovered crack addict, was also at Camp David at the time of the discovery.
According to the Secret Service, the area of the west wing where the cocaine was found is used by both guests and staff.
