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...

Who found it to start with?? and why did it even make the news. Something is very wrong with this picture.
Of course. Let’s blame the blue-collar workers.
Muddying the water, again. They know this is not true (and notice it is reported as “hinted at” and not as a fact. The point is to put so many different stories out that the average American will not be able to focus on the real one.
“what else did those construction workers leave in the WH situation room”
I am thinking dozens of empty Budweiser cans.
This is the government. Pathetic and dangerous.
I'd like to see how they define proximity. Is it 10 feet, 100 feet, 100 yards 1000 yards. Is it horizontal or vertical? The situation room is in the basement. Is two floors above in proximity ?
so lets look at the work logs....bet no one even worked last week. look at those pics again....and again...cameras...guards...where’s the cubby whole????
It’s pretty likely the workers were screened before entering the WH. I think there are only a few specifically NAMED individuals who are exempt from screening.
Not blue collar.
The workers in question were certainly Biden Union workers.
Absent the cocaine using White House construction workers, Biden would not be President
Surprised they didn’t go with Russian disinformation like they did when the crackhead son left his laptop for repairs and then forgot about it. Was it Russian coke?
And they have their fingers on the button. Yikes.
Is that the same construction worker who arrives with a .45 in his belt?
I’m surprised they haven’t blamed the Russian’s .. You know that colluded with Trump..
Personally, i think it was space aliens..we never see them.
It could have been left by my dog. “Could” is the worst word a reporter can use.
Bull Merd. The Prodigal Junkie left his stash there. Period.
I know they drink a lot of Red Bull. Although expensive, ite more affordable than cocaine. And it’s legal.
Even the aliens didn’t want to abduct them.
Finally, after several attempts, the WH concocted a story we can all now believe - not.
