President Joe Biden laughed and again ignored questions about the cocaine found at the White House - as the administration tried to distance the first family and staff from the shocking discovery by suggesting it was a visitor.
Biden sat and watched reporters as they tried and failed to get his response to the drug scandal while he was in the Oval Office with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on Wednesday.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre implied in her daily briefing that a member of the public left the Schedule A substance in a 'heavily-traveled area' of the West Wing - the office space that includes the Oval Office and an area for staff.
Despite repeated questions, she refused to get into 'hypotheticals' about the investigation and insisted the Secret Service would find the culprit who abandoned the drugs while Biden and son Hunter were in Camp David for the weekend
The cocaine was found on Sunday in small, zippered bag in a cubby hole in the lobby area of the West Wing, where visitors leave their cell phones and other electronics before entering the White House complex.
A member of White House staff must accompany guests who tour the West Wing, and the Biden administration tests new hires for illicit substances.
Jean-Pierre said Biden had been briefed on the matter, but the president didn't acknowledge questions shouted at him during the meeting with Kristersson.
He also didn't answer questions about it on Tuesday.
The Secret Service is conducting an investigation, including looking at security cameras and visitor logs.
The substance was found during a routine Secret Service sweep on Sunday evening and tested positive as a drug.
Jean-Pierre noted the lobby sees a lot of foot traffic on any given day.

I thought they did already???
Lol! You CAN dismiss the press when they are in your pocket…and they have no pride at all(except maybe the gay kind).
The question is, why was this matter released to the press?
Horse hockey.
He refused to answer the question because he probably forgot the question between laughs.
I got a tour of the White House in the early 90’s. Metal detectors and pat downs were standard procedure. You are entering the residence of the Commander in Chief. And this was well before 9/11.
The wife beater tank top is a nice touch. 👍
Its possible it wasn’t Hunter,
But any “investigation” that skips over him as a suspect is not really interested in the truth.
As would be expected.
If they were able to get cocaine through security, how easy would it be for a terrorist to bring in anthrax or any other deadly substance.
Keep laughing it off Joe.
Maybe a pangolin left it there. Or a bat.
As much as I’d like to believe that Hunter B. was involved, I’m kinda doubting it. The only thing that makes me think he might have been is his penchant for intentionally reckless behavior; as some others call it, a cry for help.
Last night greg Kelly showed a clip of Hunter on there balcony during the fireworks
display. He looked very agitated and something was just not right with him. He ducks away and appears to be inhaling something.
Those selfies of Hunter doing 172 mph while hitting the pipe kinda put a damper on that idea.
Like dropping off your laptop full of child porn and crack escapades to the repair shop and forgetting where you left it?
Or it can be that perpetual smirk frozen on his senile slack-jawed face
The whole world knows Hunter is a degenerate crackhead. Most of the family are dopers.
And they want to blame it on some visitor who we know isn’t getting in there with a bag of cocaine?
KJP needs to be asked “Did the visitor have the bag hidden tween their butt cheeks or is the SS getting sloppy”?
