White Powder, Presumed to Be Cocaine, Found in West Wing

A white powder was found in the White House’s West Wing on Sunday, prompting an emergency hazardous material call to Washington, D.C., fire department, a U.S. Secret Service (USSS) told Newsmax.

The substance is now in a lab for further analysis, but it is believed to be cocaine, sourced to White House correspondent Jason Rosen.

Reports had indicated the substance was believed to be cocaine hydrochloride, a hazardous material that is often used as a local anesthetic.

When reached for an official comment, the USSS declined.

“The Secret Service does not comment on an on-going investigation,” an email to Newsmax read.
