(Daily Mail) The Secret Service is carrying out fingerprint and DNA analysis of a bag of cocaine found at the White House to track down its owner.
It comes after the Biden family showed a united front on the Truman balcony for Independence day inviting recovering drug addict Hunter Biden and the rest of the clan to enjoy a dazzling fireworks display.
The dime-sized bag was discovered on Sunday in a cubby hole in the lobby area of the West Wing, where visitors leave their cell phones and other electronics before entering the White House complex.
President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, a recovering cocaine addict, were both at Camp David at the time.

On Wednesday, a source told CNN that the Secret Service is doing ‘everything possible’ to try and identify who brought the drug in.
The official said identifying the culprit may be difficult because of the size of the bag and the number of people who would have had access to the area.
The Secret Service is going through visitor logs, surveillance video and relying on the analysis of the bag to try to advance their investigation, the official explained.
The analysis could take several weeks.
On Wednesday, Biden laughed and again ignored questions about the cocaine found at the White House, as the administration tried to distance the first family and staff from the shocking discovery by suggesting it was a visitor.
Biden sat and watched reporters as they tried and failed to get his response to the drug scandal while he was in the Oval Office with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre implied in her daily briefing that a member of the public left the Schedule A substance in a ‘heavily-traveled area’ of the West Wing – the office space that includes the Oval Office and an area for staff.
Despite repeated questions, she refused to get into ‘hypotheticals’ about the investigation and insisted the Secret Service would find the culprit.
