Photos of cocaine found in a phone safe at President Joe Biden’s White House this summer have been revealed for the first time by DailyMail.com.

The Secret Service added images of the bag of white powder found in a cubicle used to store personal belongings near the West Executive entrance of the White House, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

Cocaine was found on Sunday, July 2, while the Biden family – including son Hunter – was spending the weekend at Camp David ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.

The discovery led to an evacuation of the West Wing and the closure of streets around the White House, then sparked an 11-day investigation after the substance was identified as the illegal drug.

Documents obtained by DailyMail.con also show that the FBI’s deputy director was involved in the investigation, which scandalized the Biden administration this summer.

The Secret Service closed the investigation in less than two weeks due to a “lack of evidence.”

The list of suspects was narrowed to 500, but security footage failed to identify the owner.

There were also no usable fingerprints or other DNA evidence on the “dime-sized” ziplock bag that contained less than a gram of the drug.

It is unclear whether any suspects were interviewed during the short investigation.

The Secret Service said the cocaine was sent for “destruction” on July 14, a day after the investigation concluded.

According to initial reports of the incident, the cocaine was discovered in the White House library, then in the lobby of the West Wing and finally in the cubbies at the entrance to the West Executive.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s initial response to questions about whether the cocaine could belong to a Biden came in the form of pointing out that they were not at home.

She then lashed out at a reporter who – five days after the discovery – asked if she could say “once and for all” that the bag did not belong to a Biden family member.

“You know, there has been irresponsible reporting about the family and that’s why I have to report it here,” the press secretary said. “And I’ve been very clear.”

“Two days ago I was clear… the Biden family wasn’t there, they weren’t here, they were at Camp David,” she continued. “They weren’t there on Friday, they weren’t there on Saturday, they weren’t there on Sunday. They weren’t even there on Monday. They came back here on Tuesday.’

The questions were asked because Hunter Biden wrote an entire memoir about his battle with drug and alcohol abuse, including descriptions of heavy cocaine use.

First daughter Ashley Biden has also struggled with drug abuse and has been to rehab.

In the days following the discovery, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan suggested that a construction worker could have brought in the cocaine, as it was found near the Situation Room, which was being renovated at the time.

“I would like to make a point about the Situation Room because I think there has been a lot of questionable reporting on this,” Sullivan said during a July 7 briefing. ‘The Situation Room is not in use and has not been in use for months as it is currently under construction.’

“We are using an alternate Situation Room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, so the only people entering and leaving the Sit Room during this time are employees preparing it for use,” he added.
