(PartiallyPolitics.com) – The Secret Serving is going to be ending the investigation into the cocaine found at the White House after being unable to identify a suspect in the case. Lawmakers were reportedly already briefed on the matter with the Secret Service confirming the end of the probe on Thursday.
Following a closed-door briefing lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee reported that the investigation would most likely conclude on Friday. The meeting took place in the Capitol sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF), and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) revealed following the meeting that the investigation would end “tomorrow.”
This was reaffirmed by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) who stated that they were informed about the investigation ending tomorrow. They had argued that they were not aware of who the suspect was.
Greene further revealed that while the Secret Service was able to conclude on a list of around 500 potential suspects, they were not able to provide any further details on the list because it was classified. Instead, she just stated that the list included a diverse “mix of people.”
On Friday Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) had requested from Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle in a letter that his committee be briefed on the investigation surrounding the cocaine that had been discovered in the White House on July 2. The cocaine was found in the West Wing and was confirmed to be a drug after two days.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) revealed that lawmakers had been informed that 0.007 grams of cocaine had been found, but that the Secret Service is unable to determine a timeline for when it was left in the White House.
