The area where the drugs were found is not a usual entry point for heads of state. It is primarily used by the vice president, cabinet secretaries, White House staff, and others, as per the source. This location is not accessible to the general public, except for those who are on special tours guided by White House staff.
The staff members utilize this entrance when they need to move between the West Wing and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which is located across the non-public West Executive Avenue.
According to the same source, the Secret Service has received a letter from Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, in which he demands answers regarding how the drugs managed to enter the White House. The Secret Service plans to respond to Senator Cotton’s inquiry.

The Secret Service confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that the substance discovered in a bag within the West Wing of the White House on Sunday evening was indeed cocaine.

BetOnline.ag, an overseas sportsbook, has assigned +170 odds to Hunter, who is in recovery from crack addiction. The website also includes other potential candidates, although some of them seem to be humorous suggestions, like Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who recently visited the White House.
