A uniformed U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a powdery white substance in the White House this week, prompting a brief evacuation.
The substance, later identified in preliminary testing as cocaine, was found during a patrol of the West Wing on Sunday night. The substance is now undergoing additional testing.
“We have a yellow bar stating cocaine hydrochloride,” a D.C. firefighter said in a radio communication to a Hazmat team. “Bag it up and take it out.”
