cocaine found in white house

On Sunday night, the West Wing's publicly accessible portion was discovered to contain the powder, which led to a brief evacuation of the building complex.
Joe Biden, the president, was away at Camp David for a weekend retreat and was not present.
The Secret Service, which is in charge of ensuring the safety of the president, reacted quickly to the crisis, and firefighters and emergency professionals began testing the material. These analyses confirmed that the material was, in fact, cocaine.
After a Secret Service agent discovered the powder during a normal sweep of the property, authorities are now attempting to understand how the material entered the White House.

On June 30, first son Hunter Biden, 53, who has admitted to a past crack cocaine addiction, was on the grounds of the White House before accompanying his father to Camp David for the long weekend. Tuesday morning saw their return to Washington.

In April, there were rumors that the first son may have temporarily resided at the White House to avoid having the mother of his love kid serve him.

In his autobiography "Beautiful Things," Hunter described his long-term struggle with cocaine addiction, which he claimed became worse after the 2015 passing of his brother Beau.

The first son's now-famous laptop contained numerous images, texts, and other communications indicating his cocaine consumption, including recently released pictures of Hunter smoking crack while operating a vehicle in a residential Arlington, Virginia, neighborhood in the summer of 2018.

According to the US narcotic Enforcement Administration, cocaine is classified as a Schedule II narcotic under the Controlled Substances Act, which indicates that it has a significant potential for abuse.

The Oval Office and the situation room are located in the West Wing, a sizable, multi-level area of the White House that houses the president of the United States' offices.
