Furious Republicans said the Secret Service is closing the White House cocaine investigation without finding any suspects – and narrowing the culprit list down to 500 people.
GOP Rep. Tim Burchett said agents 'just decided it's just some weekend visitor' and chalked up the entire investigation as 'another coverup' by the Biden White House.
'It's bogus' the Tennessee congressman added. 'That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life.'
His comments came after the Secret Service briefed members of Congress, 11 days after the discovery forced evacuation and a hazmat situation at the White House.
Since July 2 the Secret Service had been poring over surveillance footage from cameras stationed all over the White House, but still hasn't managed to find a culprit.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has avoided the latest White House scandal by escaping to Europe for meetings with foreign leaders.
There were no fingerprints or other DNA found on the container holding the cocaine, according to the Secret Service. And there was less than a gram of the illicit drug in the 'dime-sized' zipper-lock baggie.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that the Secret Service officials informed lawmakers during Thursday's briefing that they narrowed down the list of suspected culprits to about 500 people.
'Have they drug tested this list of 500 potential suspects that brought an illegal substance – the drug cocaine – into the White House,' Greene told reporters after the briefing. 'Their answer was no, and that they're unwilling to do so.'
Without any direct answers from the USSS or the Biden administration on the cocaine discovery with nearly two weeks to investigate the matter, members of Congress demanded briefings.

All the Closed-circuit television is shut down when Hunter visits ?
It would appear incredibly easy for any foreign government to get and and leave things in the White House, then.
Our Secret Service is incompetent.
Im shocked by this outcome!
Meanwhile, if this happened under Trump, all we would hear would be “Cocaine! Cocaine! Cocaine!” until there was a perp walk.
They aren’t incompetent. They’re crooked, too.
If there is a camera that shows where the coke was found just go back as far as you can and fast forward until you see who put it there. How long do they keep video in the WH.
Meanwhile, feds doggedly continue to arrest people who may have watched Jan 6 on TV.
Since the investigation is over, make public all the investigative records.
“lack of physical evidence” So they didn’t interrogate anyone? Do any non-”physical” investigation?
LOL!
Oh, they know who’s blow it was.
if it was anthrax they’d find out who it was...
‘Have they drug tested this list of 500 potential suspects that brought an illegal substance – the drug cocaine – into the White House,’ Greene told reporters after the briefing. ‘Their answer was no, and that they’re unwilling to do so.’
This is just a silly statement. There’s no evidence anybody actually used the cocaine, and it’s been so long that even if somebody popped positive, there would be no way to credibly tie that person to the dime bag based on test results.
I wonder if congress can get all the vids and review them themselves.
THIS IS Why the people are so effing fed up! The double standard is astronomical! Do not trust the FBI, the CIA or the DOJ. Never!
What a joke. It's all for show. Those uniparty pimps "go along to get along" because that's their payday. At the end of the day, they all still chase whores together.
If they were "furious", they would have done something when we installed a foreign born, America hating raghead racist in office.
