BREAKING: Secret Service Conclude Investigation Into Cocaine Found At White House

 On Thursday, the Secret Service officially concluded its investigation into the small bag of cocaine that was found in the West Wing of the White House last week. The investigators ended the inquiry with no suspects.

The agency briefed lawmakers and their staff on Thursday morning and delivered the news. According to Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), the Secret Service was unable to obtain fingerprints off the baggie or determine the exact time when the cocaine entered the White House.

As reported by the Washington Examiner, Burchett said that it "is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life."

The Secret Service released a statement after briefing Congress that explained that the illegal substance was found "inside a receptacle used to temporarily store electronic and personal devices prior to entering the West Wing."

"This review included a backwards examination that spanned several days prior to the discovery of the substance and developed an index of several hundred individuals who may have accessed the area where the substance was found," the Secret Service said, per Fox News Digital. The investigators created "a pool of known persons for comparison of forensic evidence gleaned from the FBI’s analysis of the substance's packaging."

The agency explained that they received the fingerprint test results back from the FBI on Wednesday, however, those results did not yield any findings.

"There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area," the Secret Service continued. "Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered."

"At this time, the Secret Service's investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence," the statement concluded.
