Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado has revealed the bag of cocaine found by the Secret Service recently is not the first time drugs have been discovered at the White House under Biden’s watch.

Rep. Boebert revealed that the Secret Service has found drugs at the White House two other times and the bag of cocaine found recently would mark the third time the Secret Service has discovered drugs inside of the White House since Biden took office.

The other drug that was found at the White House was marijuana.

Boebert shared that the Secret Service also stated they will more than likely close the investigation without ever finding out who left the bag of cocaine at the White House.

She stated “There’s a list of more than 500 individuals that they looked into their backgrounds for prior drug records or use, and nothing was determined from their analysis…And the Secret Service is very eager to close this within the next couple of days.”

Check out what Just the News reported:

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert said after the Secret Service briefing Thursday on cocaine found July 2 at the White House that drugs have been found two other times since last year in the building.

The Colorado lawmaker also confirmed that Secret Service officials said at the briefing the agency likely won’t find a suspect in connection to the cocaine discovery and that the probe will conclude Friday.

“There’s a list of more than 500 individuals that they looked into their backgrounds for prior drug records or use, and nothing was determined from from their analysis,” she said. “And the Secret Service is very eager to close this within the next couple of days.”

The cocaine was reportedly found in a cubby near the White House’s West Executive entrance and weighed less than a gram.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who like Boebert is a member of the House Oversight Committee and attended the briefing, also confirmed with Just the News the investigation will be closed Friday without a suspect.

Per Fox News:

The Secret Service found marijuana twice in the White House in 2022, long before cocaine was located in the West Wing.

The Secret Service revealed the information to members of Congress during a classified briefing on the investigation into cocaine found in the West Wing over the Fourth of July weekend, and confirmed the pot discoveries to Fox News Digital.

Possessing less than two ounces of marijuana is not a crime in Washington, D.C., but the substance is still not allowed on federal property — including the White House.

A spokesperson for the Secret Service told Fox News Digital that agents had found “small amounts of marijuana” on two separate occasions, in July and September of last year.
