"A Complete Failure": Secret Service Suddenly Closes White House Cocaine Investigation Without Naming Suspect
**_Update (1211ET):_** The Secret Service on Thursday announced that **it's closed the investigation into how cocaine ended up at the White House** without identifying a suspect.
( 
)" **There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area,**" the agency said in a statement. "Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. **At this time, the Secret Service's investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence**."
According to the statement, the Secret Service said the bag of cocaine was "subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis."
Lack of physical evidence? Nothing on the bag, and there's an area of the White House that isn't surveilled? Do we need to call the paw patrol to figure this one out?

> Yikes. So if this were Anthrax or other bioweapon/chemical weapon powder in the WH, the Secret Service is admitting they would not be able to find the suspect? I have a real hard time believing that...

In response to a Thursday closed-door briefing to members and staff of the House Oversight Committee, **Republicans called the case a 'failure' of the agency**.
"And to say that they don't know who it is, to me, **somebody should lose their job over this.** This thing's a trash can. Everybody wants to pick and choose they need to shut the whole thing down put the garden hose to it and clean it out," said Rep. Tim Burchett, who called it a "complete failure" and said that the Biden administration is "thumbing their nose at the American public."

Biden critics are accusing the White House of a “cocaine cover-up” as the Secret Service investigation into “CocaineGate” drags on with no resolution.
( 
)Amid growing skepticism regarding the trustworthiness of the “ongoing investigation,” the Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday didn’t have an update for reporters.

The USSS have not been answering to press inquiries about the discovery, however, telling news outlets that they cannot comment on ongoing investigations. The Secret Service will be briefing Congress on Thursday, after House Oversight Chairman James Comer Comer fired off a letter (https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/White-House-Secret-Service-Letter-Briefing-request-070723.pdf) to USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle demanding to be briefed on the White House **security failures that led to the “unacceptable and shameful” discovery of cocaine in the West Wing**.
