UPDATE: Unbelievable. Sources familiar with the briefing tell Fox News the Secret Service plans on shutting down its investigation into the cocaine discovered in the West Wing without knowing who brought the illegal drug into the White House. The Associated Press is reporting that according to the Secret Service, no DNA or fingerprints were found on the bag and the Secret Service has no leads. 

CNN reports: “Secret Service officials combed through visitor logs and surveillance footage of hundreds of individuals who entered the West Wing in the days preceding the discovery and were unable to identify a suspect, one of the sources said.”

Original story

A curious development this morning in the case of the cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House. Just the News is reporting the Secret Service has pushed up its briefing to the House Oversight Committee on the matter to today at 10 a.m. The briefing had originally been scheduled for July 24.

What’s more, the Secret Service has asked that the briefing take place in a SCIF — a sensitive compartmented information facility — normally reserved for classified intelligence briefings. Lawmakers with appropriate intelligence clearances may attend. A very curious development indeed. Especially since a Biden aide indicated last week there were no national security implications to the discovery. 

A law enforcement source who spoke to Just the News says the briefing was scheduled to give lawmakers an update after DNA and fingerprint analysis was ordered.

Common sense says, you don’t rush to push up a briefing … in a SCIF … to say, “We’ve got nothing.”

Indeed, Soldier of Fortune reported last night that fingerprints were found on the bag of cocaine, and “officials at the White House know who handled the drug.” And have known since last week. Soldier of Fortune claims to know who it is, but is withholding the name pending official confirmation.

The fact the Secret Service wants the briefing to be held in a SCIF would seem to rule out the drugs belonging to a construction worker (suggested by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan). 

NBC News reports the bag of coke was found in a cubby near the West Executive entrance, not the formal West Wing lobby as had been previously reported.
