Republicans in both chambers of Congress are pushing back against media reports that the Secret Service might never find who brought cocaine into the White House.
Unnamed sources have been cited in multiple news reports cautioning that the culprit might not be found given the highly trafficked nature of the location where the drugs were discovered on Sunday evening.

"I’ve been in and out of that entrance a million times. It’s one of the most heavily secured and constantly surveilled places on Earth. They keep detailed records on who enters and exits and when. I find it difficult to accept that they can’t figure out who put the cocaine there," Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) told Fox News.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) also questioned how it could be possible that investigators would never know who was responsible given the security of the White House. Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) implied that the culprit would never be found, because the White House was uninterested in who the cocaine belonged to.
"White House cocaine culprit unlikely to be found, as long as White House officials don’t want them found," Cramer tweeted on Thursday night.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) pushed even further, suggesting everyone undergoes mandatory drug testing, including President Joe Biden. Biden and his family, including his son Hunter Biden, were at Camp David at the time the drugs were found.
"So let me get this straight, the White House is refusing to say whether the cocaine culprit will be arrested? Well, I think we should drug test EVERYONE, including Joe Biden, until we know who smuggled illegal drugs into the White House," Boebert said.
The area of the White House where the drugs were found was not clear. Some reports claimed it was found in the West Wing, and other reports claimed it was found in a west executive basement entryway into the West Wing. Earlier reports indicated the cocaine was found in a White House library.
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee has launched its own investigation into the security measures that should have caught the cocaine before it was brought into the White House.

“The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement. “Congress funds White House security procedures and the Secret Service has a responsibility to maintain effective safety protocols. This incident and the eventual evacuation of staff now clearly raises concerns about the level of security maintained at the White House.”
Comer requested that the Secret Service provide committee staff with a briefing on the security measures and processes in order to assist the committee in its investigation.
