White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre scolded a reporter Friday for asking if she would answer, once and for all, whether the cocaine that was discovered in the White House on Sunday “belonged to the Biden family.”

A white powder was discovered in the West Wing of the White House on Sunday and it was later confirmed to be cocaine. Jean-Pierre’s comments come one day after NBC reported that the cocaine was found in a working area of the West Wing, contradicting initial reports that suggested it was found in a locker used by visitors in the West Wing lobby.

In response to the question, Jean-Pierre said: “There has been some irresponsible reporting about the family and I got to call that out here.”

“The Biden family was not here. They were at Camp David. They were not here Friday. They were not here Saturday. They were not here Sunday. They were not even here Monday,” said Jean-Pierre. “They came back on Tuesday. So to ask that question is actually incredibly irresponsible.”

Jean-Pierre stressed in comments delivered from the podium earlier this week that the initially reported location where the cocaine was supposed to have been found is heavily trafficked by visitors.

“What I wanted to be very clear is that this is a heavily, heavily trafficked, heavily traveled, to be more accurate, area of the campus of the White House,” Jean-Pierre said. “It is where visitors to the West Wing come through.”

But NBC’s Andrea Mitchell reported that the new location is a “much more secure place” with “limited access” and that “normal people, average people, can’t get in there.”

Several congressional Republicans such as Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) have demanded answers from the Secret Service on its screening procedures and whether there will be consequences for whomever brought the substance into the building.

The Republican candidates for president have also expressed outrage at the drug’s discovery, with frontrunner Donald Trump suggesting it belongs to the Biden family.

“Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden,” wrote Trump on Truth Social.

Deputy press secretary Andrew Bates recently skirted a question about whether the cocaine belonged to the family. “I don’t have a response to that, because we have to be careful about the Hatch Act,” Bates responded, creating some confusion. The Hatch Act prevents executive-branch employees from engaging in campaign activities in their official capacity.

Jean-Pierre explained Friday that her deputy mentioned the Hatch Act because Donald Trump, Biden’s likely opponent in the general election, was mentioned in the question about the illicit substance and the Biden family.

“He was being very mindful,” explained Jean-Pierre, saying that the communications team is not trying to avoid the question.

Earlier in the press conference, national-security advisor Jake Sullivan confirmed that there would be consequences if the cocaine belonged to someone who works at the White House.

“If it involves someone from the White House, the appropriate consequences will ensue,” Sullivan explained.
