Cocaine discovery at Capitol Police HQ just months after White House scandal
Capitol Police are investigating a cocaine scandal after a small bag was found at its HQ.
A one-inch ziplock bag of the illicit drug was found in a 'heavily trafficked' area just a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol building.
Just before 1pm EST on Wednesday, a baggie of a suspicious white substance was found, which later tested positive for cocaine.
It was discovered on the second floor of the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) headquarters, which is a 10-minute walk away from where the House and Senate meet and on the same block as two Senate office buildings.
In a statement, the USCP said: "The small bag was found on the floor of a hallway inside USCP headquarters. The hallway is on the second floor in an area that has been a staging spot for furniture and supplies.
"The area is heavily trafficked by various contractors and employees. It is also near offices such as Prisoner Processing, Crime Scene, Intel and Reports Processing.
"The baggie was found in the middle of the floor just before 1:00 p.m. by an officer, who immediately reported it to a supervisor. The residue was field tested and came back positive for cocaine.
"The USCP Investigations Division has opened an investigation, which will include further testing, including DNA testing of the baggie. We will provide more information when it becomes available."
Capitol Police's Investigations Division is currently investigating the matter.

Secret Service closes White House cocaine probe with no answers
Secret Service closes White House cocaine probe with no answers
The Secret Service concludes the investigation into cocaine found at White House with no answers.
The bag of cocaine found inside the White House complex was found inside a cubby near an entrance to the West Wing commonly used to give tours and where visitors are instructed to place phones and other belongings, photos obtained by ABC News show.
The photos show a small bag of cocaine inside of cubby #50, the photos show.
The Secret Service closed its investigation on July 12 after it said it could not identify a suspect.
The tours are by invitation only and normally led by a White House staffer. The Secret Service said hundreds of people had access to the area and that no security camera footage showed what happened. Congressional Republicans raised questions about that explanation, saying it raised security concerns.

When the cocaine was found on July 2, the White House was briefly shut down, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were outside of Washington at the time the cocaine was found.
Internal Secret Service emails also obtained in the FOIA show the FBI immediately took control of at the time was "white powder" for further testing at the FBI lab in Quanitco, Virginia.
"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 agency said in a lengthy statement in July. "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 Secret Service said the packaging was "subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis," by the FBI crime lab.

"The investigation included a methodical review of security systems and protocols," the agency statement 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. The focal point of these actions developed a pool of known persons for comparison of forensic evidence gleaned from the FBI's analysis of the substance's packaging.
"On July 12, the Secret Service received the FBI's laboratory results, which did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons," the statement said.
No photos/video of where the people touring the WH are storing stuff in cubbies. Top-notch security (or absolute bullshit, you decide).

I think the cocaine being found is real. I think they found a white powder, it caused a drama since it could have been poison and the place got shut down. Found it to be cocaine. I think it's being investigated and they will know who's cocaine it is. The photo shows it in a cubby hole in a vestibule so it's associated with someone. If the cocaine belongs to someone Judea doesn't like, all evidence will be presented. Anyone else and it will be memory holed. In all likelihood it was a DEI secret service black who had the cocaine.
