The Secret Service, responsible for the security of US President Joe Biden, has initially closed the investigation into the cocaine find in the White House without result.
The Secret Service said Thursday that investigators have been unable to identify who brought the cocaine to government headquarters in Washington. The results of the examination of the fingerprints and DNA were not sufficient.
The suspected substance was discovered on July 2 in an entrance area in the west wing of Washington’s government headquarters. Biden was not in the White House at the time. American media had reported that the area was also open to visitor groups. They would be asked to put down their cell phones.
The Secret Service now explained:
No surveillance video footage has been found that would allow investigators to determine who dumped the substance in the area.
Big swirl
The find caused quite a stir. Republicans used it to attack Democrat Biden and his family.
The attacks mainly targeted Biden’s son Hunter Biden. He was a drug addict in the past and has repeatedly been the target of Republican attacks.
Cocaine is considered a party drug and briefly increases concentration and performance, makes hunger, fatigue and fears disappear. Psychological consequences are extreme restlessness, anxiety and delusions.
