0:58Now PlayingThe US Secret Service on Wednesday confirmed that a powdery substance found inside the White House over the weekend is cocaine.
The cocaine was discovered in an area of the West Wing lobby where individuals can store their phones, according to Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the Secret Service. The lobby is “a heavily traveled area” regularly accessed by both visitors and staff, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday.
“The president thinks this is incredibly important to get to the bottom of,” she added.
The Secret Service, which protects the president and other high-level US officials, conducted its own analysis after an initial field test by the D.C. fire department indicated the substance was cocaine. The White House complex was evacuated Sunday after officials found the powder.
The D.C. fire department’s hazmat team responded and deemed the substance not to pose a threat to the complex.
