The lab testing results for a white-powdered substance found at The White House has come back positive, revealed a spokesperson for the Secret Service to CNN.
Previous field testing had recognised the substance as cocaine, however, it was submitted for additional investigation and testing, the Secret Service spokesperson had earlier said.
Meanwhile, as the news of cocaine being found on The White House premises surfaced online, former President Donald Trump has launched a rant.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday, “Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden.”
He added that the media will soon publish fake reports that the cocaine found was in a small quantity or it was Aspirin. He claimed that the story will vanish.
According to a person acquainted with the whole situation, as per CNN, the substance was discovered near the ground floor entrance to the West Wing. Staff-led tours of the White House pass past this spot on the way into the building. To be precise, the substance was found near the area where the visitors are instructed to deposit their mobile phones before entering West Wing.
