BREAKING: Secret Service investigation into cocaine found at the White House has closed without finding out who was responsible, the agency says.
earlier this month was concluding without a determination of who was responsible.
"The investigation included a methodical review of security systems and protocols," the agency statement said. "This review included a backwards examination that spanned several days prior to the discovery of the substance and developed an index of several hundred individuals who may have accessed the area where the substance was found.
"And to say that they don't know who it is, to me, somebody should lose their job over this. This thing's a trash can. Everybody wants to pick and choose they need to shut the whole thing down put the garden hose to it and clean it out," Rep. Tim Burchett said, adding that the Secret Service told members in the briefing the bag contained less than a gram of cocaine.
"This alarming development requires the Committee to assess White House security practices and determine whose failures led to an evacuation of the building and finding of the illegal substance," Comer wrote.
