“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. The Committee requests the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) provide additional information,” Comer wrote in a letter he shared on Twitter.

“The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history.”

In his letter, Comer added that the “incident has raised additional concerns with the Committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House.”

[Gee, you think? How did the cocaine get into the White House in the first place? Why can’t surveillance video and investigators determine who left it just outside the Situation Room? Maybe a few subpoenas can answer some of these questions.

As far as the headline goes … I’m here all week, folks. And fortunately for you, that’s only a few more hours. — Ed]
