The white powder found in a working area of the White House's West Wing on Sunday night has been confirmed to be cocaine.
A U.S. Secret Service source, however, is debunking reports that the substance was discovered in the library of the presidential mansion, according to Newsmax White House correspondent James Rosen.
"The item was not found in the residence or in the library, so I don't know where that came from," a source told Rosen. "It was found in the West Wing in a work area, which is quite a distance from the mansion."
Dispatch audio from the Washington, D.C., fire department's hazard materials inspection have been circulating online.
"We have a yellow bar stating cocaine hydrochloride," a voice stated on a radio dispatch at 8:49:36 p.m. ET on Sunday night.
That dispatch has been independently confirmed as authentic from the White House, according to a report Tuesday from The Washington Post.
The DeSantis campaign's Twitter account has bashed the Biden administration for its lack of "decency" at the White House.
"Biden promised to 'restore decency' to the White House," the DeSantis War Room tweeted, sharing the video of the event gone wild with topless adults on the South Lawn. "Is this what he meant?"
