The Secret Service closed its investigation into the source of cocaine left at the White House without identifying who was responsible for the crime, according to a report Thursday.
Secret Service investigators were unable to identify the suspect even after reviewing visitor logs and surveillance footage of hundreds of individuals who entered the West Wing in the days leading up to the discovery of the cocaine in a cubby on July 2, two sources familiar with the investigation told CNN. It's unclear from the report if the Secret Service interviewed Hunter Biden, a recovering crack addict rumored to be living at the White House, as part of its investigation.
According to CNN, the Secret Service failed to determine what day the illicit substance was left at the White House.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green told reporters after a Thursday briefing with Secret Service officials that investigators were unwilling to drug test the 500 potential suspects they had identified during their investigation.
Former Secret Service agent Konstantinos Gus Dimitrelos told the Washington Free Beacon that investigators had the tools at their disposal to determine who left the cocaine at the White House.
Dimitrelos added that the Secret Service has the means to contact everyone who visited the White House in the days leading up to the discovery of the cocaine, noting that the Secret Service conducts a background check on everyone who enters the building.
"Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered," the Secret Service said.
