US President Joe Biden says it is “very important” to find out how it is possible that cocaine was found in the White House. The drugs were found on Sunday by the Secret Service, which is responsible for the president’s security.
The White House confirmed that the drugs were found in a part of the West Wing “that a lot of people pass through,” including visitors. The cocaine is said to have been found in a locker where visitors have to leave their electronics.
The cocaine was found during a standard check. The president was at a different location at the time.
At a press conference, the White House spokesman declined to comment on security questions. The investigation is still ongoing, she stressed. That’s what the Secret Service is doing. The spokesman declined to comment further.
She did confirm that tours of the White House were still given over the weekend. This may concern, for example, family or friends of the staff who work there.
