Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on July 5 pressed the U.S. Secret Service for details regarding its ongoing investigation into the discovery of cocaine at the White House.

The Secret Service confirmed that cocaine was found in the West Wing of the White House on July 2, believed to have been brought in by someone who works there or had authorization to be there. This development has prompted Republican lawmakers to raise broader questions about security and drug use at the presidential residence.
