Secret Service says there were no fingerprints or surveillance video footage to show who brought drug to White House.

Washington, DC – Authorities in the United States have closed the investigation into the source of cocaine found at the White House without identifying a suspect “due to a lack of physical evidence”, the Secret Service has said.

The announcement on Thursday could further fuel conspiracy theories by Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, linking the drug without evidence to President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and his son, Hunter.

    You all know this is the first time there has ever been cocaine in the white house, right?

      Stop, the joke is writing itself.

      In 1997, during the presidency of Bill Clinton, a small amount of cocaine was found in a bathroom near the Oval Office. The discovery led to a controversy, but it was never definitively established who the cocaine belonged to or how it ended up there. Some reports suggest that the drugs were left behind by previous administration staff.
