US President Joe Biden said the Secret Service must determine how cocaine got into the White House.
During a routine sweep of the White House, US Secret Service agents found drugs in a small plastic bag on the ground.
Spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said the White House has confidence in the Secret Service.
"The president thinks it is extremely important that this be fully investigated," she said.
Biden was not at the White House at the time as he was traveling with his family over the weekend.
Emergency services were called to test the substance and make sure it was not dangerous. The initial test showed a positive result for cocaine.
Investigators have not yet discovered who brought the drugs to the White House. The Secret Service, which is responsible for securing the White House, is analyzing visitor records and security camera footage.
