White House cocaine mystery deepens as culprit may never be ID’d

It’s a White House whodunit.

The “white, powdery substance” discovered in the West Wing over the weekend was confirmed to be cocaine Wednesday after additional testing — but investigators appear no closer to figuring out who brought illicit drugs into one of the most secure buildings on Earth.

A Secret Service agent on a routine patrol Sunday night found t🤡he nose candy in 𝄹a dime-sized bag located inside a cubby used by both staff and guests, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

The discovery forced a brief evacuation of the White House and a Hazmat unit was called to the executive ꦆmansion💖. 

President Biden and the first lady had left the White House two days earlier for Camp David, where they were joined by their son Hunter, who has ad♈mitted to a past crack coc🦩aine addiction.

The first son was part of the family party that returned to Washington from the presidential retreat on 🐬Tuesday for Independence Day festivities.

The protectiv🅘e agency had no statement beyond conཧfirming the second positive test in an email to The Post, but White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday that the cocaine baggie was was in a “heavily traveled area” while emphasizing “the president and his family were not here.”

Pressed multiple🧜 times on whether Biden was concerned about the discovery, Jean-Pierre ultimately said “the president thinks this is incredibly important to get to the bottom of.”

Biden himself ignored a shouted question about the find at the top of an Oval Office si𒆙tdown with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristers▨son.

An initial dispatch call at 8:49 p.m. Sunday stated that the substance was found in the library on the ground floor of the executive mansio🅘n, but officials familiar with the incident later told The Post it was located in the West Wing holding area. 

The cubby is used by White House employees and visitors to store phones and personal items that are not taken into other parts of the West Wing, an official close to the൲ matter told The Post on Wednesday.

There were staff-led West Wing tours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Jean🦂-Pierre said, though she declined to say how many individuals attended each.

Jean Pierre also refused to comment on the nature of the investigation or whether the Secret Service is reviewi🎃ng security screening procedures, but said the White House is not conducting its own internal re𓄧view of the incident.

“We’re just ꧋going to allow, certainly, the investigation to continue and we have con🀅fidence that the Secret Service will get to the bottom of this,” she said, directing all questions to the agency. 

The Secret Service previously&ꦉnbsp;told The Post that it “does not comment on an active investigation.” 

A person  that despite the omnipresence of seꦐcurity cameras, the tracking of each and every visitor who enters and exits the White🍌 House, and the strict protocols concerning drug use among executive branch employees, the person responsible for leaving the drug is unlikely to be found. 

“It’s gonna be very difficult for us to do that because of where it was,” the official told the outlet. “Even if there were surveillance cameras, unless you were waving it around, it may not have been caught.”

“It’s a bit of a thoroughfare,” the person added. “People walk by there all the time.”

Even if a suspect is identified, Jean-Pierre declined to say whether charges wo൩uld be pursued.

“Let’s let the Secret Service do their job, which we believe and have all the confidence that they will get to the bottom of this episod♌e,” she said.

According to White House visitor logs reviewed by The Post, more than 4,000 entries for West Wing tours were recorded in March, ✅🅷the most recent month for which records are available.
