Jimmy Fallon quips WH lockers look like 'something you'd find at a water park' after cocaine pics release
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Amid the recent revelations of cocaine being found at the White House, Jimmy Fallon seized the opportunity to infuse humor into a somewhat contentious and serious situation.
Photos obtained by the Daily Mail through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request showed a small baggy containing approximately one gram of cocaine that was discovered in locker No 50 near the West Executive entrance of the White House.
The Secret Service swiftly conducted an investigation following the discovery, leading to a hazmat team's brief response and the subsequent destruction of the substance.
Fallon's take on White House cocaine discovery
However, the probe hit a dead end due to a lack of physical evidence, leaving roughly 500 visitors as potential suspects without any definitive identification.
In his characteristic light-hearted manner, Fallon remarked on the peculiarities of the incident. "So, apparently, there was cocaine found in a locker at the White House. They couldn't figure out whose it was because, you know, the lockers over there apparently look like something you'd find at a water park! How do you misplace your stuff in those lockers?" Fallon quipped amid peels of laughter.
Were the Bidens present at White House during cocaine find?
The speculation surrounding the origins of the cocaine raised questions about the involvement of the Biden family, particularly as President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were away at Camp David during the time of the incident.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre rebuffed inquiries linking the incident to the Bidens, emphasizing their absence from the White House at the time.
Fallon's comedic take highlighted the absurdity of such incidents occurring within one of the most heavily guarded and secure locations globally.
Furthermore, reports revealed instances where marijuana had been confiscated from White House visitors attempting to bypass security, yet no arrests were made due to the quantity not meeting the legal threshold for charges.
