After a bag containing cocaine was found inside the White House, the Secret Service conducted an investigation with a conclusion that nobody believes: They were unable to determine who left the coke in the White House:
Investigation over after FBI came up empty:

“FBI’s laboratory results, which did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons. Therefore, the Secret Service is not able to compare evidence against the known pool of individuals.” pic.twitter.com/ssUXhVV2Fk
Nobody bought that one.
Now there's a new report that says something more believable, which is that the identity of the person who left the coke in the WH is known and it's somebody in the "Biden family orbit":

Ah, NOW it's getting narrowed down... reportedly, that is:

This is one of those "according to sources" stories but it seems plausible with one possible exception:
According to Keating, while the Secret Service publicly announced July 13 they had closed the investigation without identifying a suspect due to a “lack of physical evidence,” authorities were able to follow enough clues to come up with a name — and were confident enough in their detective work to inform the commander-in-chief.
“If you want the name, ask Joe Biden,” one source told Keating.
“He knows who it is.”
“It was someone within the Biden family orbit, and it wasn’t Hunter,” said a second source, referring to the president’s adult son — an admitted recovering drug addict.
It seems that the cast of suspects in this particular "whodunnit" has been narrowed down:

Any guesses on who it could be? pic.twitter.com/PiQTEnt9Xz
Well, at least we know the coke definitely didn't belong to the person who everybody thought it was most likely to belong to (slight eye roll).
I wonder if it’s either of the two self-confessed cocaine addicts?
