President Biden was at Camp David at the time of the substance’s discovery. The president’s son, Hunter, who is a recovered crack cocaine addict, was also at Camp David at the time of the discovery.

But officials said the investigation into who brought the drug into the White House is ongoing. The cocaine was found in an area of ​​the West Wing used by both guests and staff.

A hazmat team was called in following the discovery of the substance in the 18th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue area. The Secret Service blocked roads around the White House.
