National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan hinted Friday that the cocaine could have come from construction workers, as the area of the White House where it was found is being renovated.
Sullivan was asked at Friday's press briefing if he had any national security concerns after a bag of the drug was found Sunday near the Situation Room.
He revealed that the coke's proximity to the Situation Room wasn't a problem, because the space hasn't been in use.
'I would make a point about the Situation Room because I think there's been a lot questionable reporting on this. The Situation Room is not in use and has not been in use for months because it is currently under construction,' Sullivan said.
'We are using an alternative Situation Room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, so the only people coming in and going out of the Sit Room in this period have been workers who are getting it ready to go,' he added.
He said that the project is 'on time and on schedule,' then adding, 'No, there was no issue with the Situation Room relative to this.'
Sullivan went further by noting that there are 'rigorous drug testing policies at the White House.'
'We have rigorous drug use policies at the White House. We take those extremely seriously,' he continued.
'If it involves someone from the White House the appropriate consequences will ensue. If it involves some visitor who came in and left it, then that's a different matter, that raises a diffrent set of questions that are less relevant to my line of work,' he said.
Sullivan's comments were made at the same briefing that press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre snapped at a reporter who had asked her to say 'once and for all' that the cocaine found...

I wonder what the bettors had as the over/under for the number of times this story would change.
Liars! What they need is a new nat sec advisor — one who tells better lies. Good grief, these wankers.
Except for the fact that workers are pre-screened before they are allowed on site, it’s quite plausible. sarc
What do they mean by rigorous drug-testing? Does Harris ever get tested?
I went through a 7-year period in the Air Force...never a single test. Then I hit some 7-month period...tested every single month.
Next thing you know, Hunter Biden will be spotted on video with a hard hat. SloJo Biden’s hard hat will have 10% on it.
Well, the coke mystery is solved.
These idiots are looking more stupid each day. It’s the cover up, that looks worse than what happened. What chumps they are.
How is the search for the intruder at Mr Sullivan’s house coming along? Not smelling a lot of urgency with that. (Perhaps, because — wild guess — there was no intruder.)
Wait, maybe the coked up constitution worker and the “intruder” not detected (except on gaydar) are the same guy?
Yeah, sure - “construction workers”, that’s the ticket. I remember now, they came in all hopped up on something, and Dr Jill said they may be cocaine addicts! And that’s no joke....
Some construction guy just waltzed in with a big bag of coke. What a lie. Everyone goes thru security to get in including construction workers. Either someone didn’t do their job or Joe is lying once again.
Trying to figure which is worse...these a$$clowns lying about it, or that it took them nearly a week to come up with a ‘workable’ lie.
It was Hunter, in the Library, with a Straw.
Yep. Fire the National Security Advisor. Obviously this person is the one to have to go. Can’t blame Hunter. LOL
The construction worker angle is similar to the “hateful video” insulting Islam was the reason for Benghazi.
Everyone knows it’s Hunter’s cocaine, they are now looking for some poor innocent construction worker to blame.
You guys are a riot!
There is more GOOD comedy here than there is on SNL.
Kudos to conservative humor, there is NOT enough of it.
Everyone knows it was Hunter’s coke. What a bunch of clowns. And these are the people running the government.
Construction workers could have brought in the cocaine.
And monkeys could fly out of my butt.
Interesting to see the narrative. They really think we don’t know there are camera everywhere there?
He said the policy was rigorous not the testing. Gotta parse this White House
