President Joe Biden has been briefed on the investigation into the discovery of cocaine on the lobby floor of the White House West Wing, and thinks it is "incredibly important" for the Secret Service to determine how it got there. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says the White House has confidence the Secret Service is "going to get to the bottom of this."
"So, as you know, this is under the purview of the Secret Service," said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "They are currently investigating what happened over the weekend." And while some of social media, including former President Trump, are pointing a finger at recovering drug addict Hunter Biden, others -- including the White House Press Corp-- are pointing to a much bigger issue: What if the white substance -- just feet from the Oval Office-- had not been cocaine -- what if it had been anthrax and a threat to national security?
