White House adviser John Kirby said that the investigation into the cocaine found in the West Wing was handled correctly, even though no suspects have been identified.
Kirby, who serves as National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, made the remarks in an appearance on “Fox News Sunday” while responding to a question about the probe, which the Secret Service declared closed due to a “lack of physical evidence.”
“They did the best they could to track down how it got there and who it might have belonged to,” Kirby said in the interview. “And they just were not able to come up with any forensic evidence that proves it.”
The Secret Service said on July 13 that no fingerprints or DNA were found on the bag of cocaine found in a personal effects locker leading into the lobby of the West Executive Avenue entrance of the White House on July 2, triggering concerns about the security implications of hard drugs making their way into one of the most closely guarded areas in the country.
