Internal investigation after discovery

Discovery of the bag of cocaine
The small bag, of reduced dimensions, was located on the floor of a corridor of the building, specifically in an area intended for the storage of furniture and supplies. This section of the building is frequented by employees, contractors and cleaning staff, the police unit said.
An officer made the discovery shortly before 1:00 p.m. local time and immediately alerted the relevant authorities. After confirming that the contents of the bag were cocaine, a thorough investigation was launched which will include a DNA test to try to identify the owner of the illicit substance.
Precedent in the White House

The finding of cocaine in the White House was used by some members of the opposition to criticize the president at the time, Joe Biden, and his family. This type of incident often becomes a reason for political confrontation and generates a strong media impact.
Reactions and consequences
The discovery of the bag of cocaine in the Capitol has generated mixed reactions, including political commentary and speculation about the origin of the illicit substance. This type of incident often becomes a reason for political confrontation and generates a strong media impact.
It is important to note that, at this time, the organization is working closely with the authorities to clarify this situation and take the relevant measures to ensure the safety of its facilities and the individuals who frequent them.
