Peach State Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) is blasting the Secret Service for failing to find the owner of the small baggie of cocaine found in the West Wing at the White House.
Now, she wants drug tests.
“American citizens every single day go through drug tests…they do it for their jobs. This is a common practice. Just speaking with the Secret Service now. My question to them was…they were able to narrow down a list of approximately 500 people that had left a small bag of cocaine,” MTG told the press on Thursday.
“Have they drug tested this list of 500 potential suspects that brought an illegal substance, drugs, cocaine, into the White House? Their answer was ‘no’ and they’re unwilling to do so.”
Watch the clip above.
“The Secret Service has narrowed down 500 people as the potential source of cocaine in the White House. But they are ending the investigation tomorrow without administering drug tests to these individuals. A total failure. The American people deserve to know who smuggled illegal narcotics into the White House!” MTG shared on Twitter.
The Secret Service released a statement on Thursday confirming they had no suspects.
“Testing conducted by the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department indicated that the found powder tested preliminarily positive for the presence of cocaine. The substance and packaging were treated as evidence and sent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, which analyzed the item for any biothreats. Tests conducted at this facility came back negative and gave formal confirmation that the substance was not biological in nature,” the Secret Service released in a statement. “The substance and packaging underwent further forensic testing. The substance was analyzed for its chemical composition. The packaging was subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis. Both of these analyses were conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s crime laboratory given their expertise in this area and independence from the investigation.”
“There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area,” the statement continues. “Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence.”
