Initially stated to be in the White House “library” on July 4, subsequent reports from Reuters on July 5 placed it in a “cubby hole” near the Situation Room, and later on July 13, the Associated Press reported it was found in the “lobby.”
Recent photos from the Daily Mail depict a baggie with a white powdery substance in White House locker 50. These images emerged after the Secret Service concluded its investigation, but it remains unclear if any suspects were interviewed during the brief inquiry.
The leading theory, as reported by NBC News’s Kelly O’Donnell in July, suggests that a “visitor” passing through the West Executive entrance is likely responsible, though there is no physical evidence to compare to a list of names. The term “visitor” seemingly excludes White House administration employees and family members with permanent residence, raising uncertainties about Hunter Biden’s official residence at the mansion.
