According to a bombshell report in Soldier of Fortune magazine, the Secret Service both found fingerprints on the bag of cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House and has a name for the person whose fingerprints were on it. That stands in stark contrast to what the Secret Service has publically claimed is the case about the cocaine bag, which is that no suspect could be found.
The Secret Service source, speaking to Soldier of Fortune magazine on the issue, said, “We know who handled it. We’ve known since last week.” Soldier of Fortune adds, “Two sources disclosed the name of the person who is believed to have handled the packet. Soldier of Fortune is withholding the name pending official confirmation.”
Continuing, the report in Soldier of Fortune goes on to claim that the Secret Service, after quickly having tests performed on the substance to ensure that it was cocaine and not a poison, did a test on the bag in which the substance was found. That test, the source told Soldier of Fortune, “brought back a hit on fingerprints” and the report with those results came in quickly.
Congressman Comer, in a letter to the Director of the Secret Service, wrote, “The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the details surrounding the discovery of cocaine in the White House. 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.”
Continuing, Rep. Comer wrote, “The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history. According to a senior law-enforcement official, the cocaine was found in a storage facility that is “routinely used by White House staff and guests to store cell
phones.” According to reports, USSS agents discovered a suspicious white powder inside the
White House, prompting an evacuation of White House staff and personnel. The substance has since been confirmed to be cocaine.”
The Secret Service, for its part, said that it had concluded its investigation and was unable to find a suspect. It said, “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.”
Continuing, it said that it had, during the investigation, developed “a pool of known persons for comparison of forensic evidence gleaned from the FBI’s analysis of the substance’s packaging.” However, it said, the lab effort “did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons.”
So, it said, it was unable to use the pool of potential persons to compare to the forensic data. It said, “Therefore, the Secret Service is not able to compare evidence against the known pool of individuals.” But, the sources who spoke to Soldier of Fortune are claiming that is false and that the Secret Service does have a suspect.
