The Secret Service is closing its investigation into the cocaine found in the White House over Independence Day weekend.
In a statement Thursday, after briefing members of Congress, the Secret Service said the drug was found on July 2 “inside a receptacle used to temporarily store electronic and personal devices prior to entering the West Wing.”
“This review included a backwards examination that spanned several days prior to the discovery of the substance and developed an index of several hundred individuals who may have accessed the area where the substance was found,” the Secret Service said. It said investigators developed “a pool of known persons for comparison of forensic evidence gleaned from the FBI's analysis of the substance's packaging.”
The Secret Service said it received the FBI‘s lab results on Wednesday but the effort fell short of being able to develop any fingerprints. (RELATED: White House Invokes Hatch Act To Avoid Hunter Biden Cocaine Question)
“Therefore, the Secret Service is not able to compare evidence against the known pool of individuals,” the Secret Service said, adding that the FBl's evaluation of the substance “also confirmed that it was cocaine.”
“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 Secret Service continued. “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,” they said.
