WASHINGTON – White powder has been discovered at the White House over the weekend, and is suspected to be cocaine.
The substance was found in a storage facility in a cubby used by White House staff and guests to store cell phones, CBS News reported, citing a senior law enforcement official.
The Secret Service will examine consulting cameras and entrance logs to determine who had access to the space, the report said on Tuesday.
A suspicious substance was discovered at the White House on Sunday evening, sparking a brief evacuation. The white powder tested positive for cocaine in a preliminary test, media reported.
