Secret Service reported that no suspect has been found in the investigation into the cocaine discovered at the White House.

The Secret Service has reportedly concluded its investigation into the bag of cocaine that was discovered in the White House. But no suspect has been identified, according to two sources, per CNN.
The Secret Service looked through visitor logs and surveillance footage of those who came into the West Wing in the days leading up to the discovery, but they came up short.

The cubbies where the small bag of cocaine was apparently found were in a blind spot for surveillance cameras, per the report. This has made it difficult to pin down who may have been responsible.
Representative Tim Burchett posted a video on Twitter about the investigation, saying the White House "is the most secure building in the entire world, you can't go in there, and they have facial identification, they [can get] your social security number. Nobody, not even in the press, goes in there without them knowing. This is a bad look on the Secret Service and a horrible look on this White House. More cover-ups continue."

"Even if there were surveillance cameras, unless you were waving it around, it may not have been caught," the source said. "It's a bit of a thoroughfare. People walk by there all the time."
Though the substance was discovered in the heavily trafficked West Wing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the Biden family was not at the White House when the substance was discovered on Sunday. Joe, Jill, and Hunter had dashed to Camp David on the previous Friday, and they returned to the White House on Tuesday for Independence Day.

Hunter was reportedly at the White House in the days before the cocaine was discovered. But there has been no evidence to directly connect the baggie of cocaine to the president's son.
Jean-Pierre had previously been asked whether the Biden administration would seek out prosecution if the culprit was found, but she evaded the question by saying she was "not going to get into hypotheticals."
