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...

It wouldn’t surprise me that, while we discuss here, they’re auditioning actors to put on a “construction worker” outfit and make a “security camera” tape so they can go - “SEE?!?! … it was one of you LITTLE PEOPLE!… we’ve FOUND the missing tape!..”
..because EVERYONE knows that our DC politicians are pure as snow and would NEVER do …drugs!…
Any construction crew, hired to get a no doubt HIGH paying gig doing work at the White House would tolerate ANY misbehavior by ANY of its crew.
They don’t wanna lose big money and possibly their entire reputation.
The boss would choose his best, most reliable workers to do that job. Not the crackheads who get to do demolition and cleanup for minimum $.
This isn’t a NORMAL construction job. Put out of your heads - the guys with orange helmets, yellow vests, t-shirts and jeans. They don’t hire THOSE roadside construction workers to do fine interior work at the White House.
You know those worker bees…bringing drugs and diseases into the places where the special people work.
With all of the cameras there, the SS has known who did it since the first day.
No doubt it was construction workers. Sure whatever the Democrats say.
This story continues to change Dailey as to where the Coke was and who possibly brought it. So now we blame some construction worker. This is all absurd. Then the fingerprints would say that, everyone working there has to have a background check and be fingerprinted.
And keep in mind, the construction workers are working on the damn Situation Room. They are not putting wall paper on the walls of just any conference room. They are working on one of the most secure rooms in DC.
I imagine these aren’t a bunch of illegals picked up at The Home Depot.
I know a guy who does a lot of maintenance type work at the White House. As I recall, he told me it took about ten years before he was allowed anywhere without an escort.
Come on Team FJB, you have to announce the name of some poor bastard you’ve fired to make this more believable.
Was it Hunter? He’s the General Contractor?
This bag of cocaine has legs. It has traversed the White House, going from the Library to the West Wing’s storage cages to now, the Situation Room. Mext, it is headed to Mar-a-Lago.
What a ridiculous administration. One thing after another and still they are propped up by Gates and Soros. Hunter set his cocaine down to pick up his Meth. He then forgot it. It was his week end supply, we all know this. Someone take the lead here. If we don’t stop that madness, we will all go mad. Mad Max, Book Of Eli, all becoming real.
I doubt if the construction workers were there on a Sunday during a holiday weekend.
Sure some workmen were just wandering around a secured area of the White House with their tool bags and left behind a bag of cocaine. How dumb do they think we are? The only plausible explanation is that the cocaine was brought in by someone with high clearance who would not be searched by the Secret Service. That narrows it down to the Biden family and drug addicted Hunter would be the logical choice.
These excuses about the Coke are getting to be about like the weekly name change they have for UFO’s.
Don’t know...but the only contractor working on Friday was Boris.
yesterday they said there was a guard at a desk at the entrance to where the cubby hole was.
BS- if that were the case, they woudl have said so right away because they were aware that work was being done there- woudl be nice if justice prevailed for once- but nope- the criminals and crooks get away with it by lying and then laughing about how the public are forced to accept the lie because they don’t have the legal power to stop it- lying with impunity- and the more asinine the lie, the better they like it because it shows they have power over people to accept whatever they tell them- no matter how asinine
Construction workers? He’s serious too...that’s the scary part....wtf?
Either someone didn’t do their job or Joe is lying once again.
Someone didn’t do their job AND Joe is lying again. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
