senior national correspondent kevin corke joins us with the latest good evening kevin. >> good eveningike the secret service says it's simply not able to identify persons of interest in that investigation into cocaine gate over at the white house over quote a lack of evidence. now that news comes after congressional lawmakers were briefed on the matter during which the service revealed that weed, marijuana, had been found inside the white house in 2022, not once, but twice. and if you thought congressional lawmakers were champing at the bit to weigh in on this one, well, you would be right. >> just seems to me americans anything involving biden inc is treated differently than everything else. >> somebody brought cocaine into the white house and the secret service has no idea who did it. that's not confidence-inspiring. i appreciate the secret service. >> they're brave men and women. but can you imagine if this happened on trump's watch? >> yeah. meantime in a statement secret service said, without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest

international courts correspondent kevin corke his life in the nation's capitol with the latest on this. kevin good evening. >> kevin: as you can well imagine, it really does not take a whole lot to get tongues wagging here in washington especially when it comes to the white house drama. in this instance, it is much more than just an annoyance for the white house. one that can certainly do without because you see the discovery of cocaine inside one of the world's most secure buildings is a major security threat. it could have been anthrax or some other chemical agent. and that is why getting to the bottom of exactly who had the coke and how on earth it got there it is important and to hear experts tell it, there's a chance they already know. >> nobody knows that facility better than the uniformed division officers and the special agents of the circuit service. they know every nook and cranny of it. they know every place where videotapes are available. my guess is the secret service has a fairly good idea of who may be involved in this situation. >> kevin: they have spent many a day and

kevin corke has all the latest developments including what is upsetting ukraine's president. >> kevin: as you know from your time covering previous nato summit, there are lots are one-on-one breakouts of the sidelines. so this is hardly novel. but very few in recent memory will be as anticipated as the one that is set for tomorrow between president zelenskyy and our own president biden. the meeting comes against a backdrop of controversy given by the prophets recent decision to send cluster munitions to the war-torn country which a number of nato members have effectively banned because of concerns over the weapon's ability to harm civilians. the audience comes after mr. biden said ukraine was not ready for nato membership. so if you have been following the story for a while, that means reading which has finally cleared its last hurdle to receive nato membership is in while ukraine is looking for concrete path to a said. the group's communiquÉ declared yes, ukraine would be divided to join the alliance but it was remarkably vague and apparently mr. zielinski noticed. tweeting it is unp

howard: joining us now, kevin corke, who covers the white house for fox news. uestioning the timing of this indictment, but luft was actually charged last year, was arrested in cyprus in february, skipped out on the bail, and the indictment can was just unsealed this week. does it still make sense for republicans to say the doj did this for suspicious reasons of timing? >> that's always the best play if you're a republican, to say this is another example of the mittization of the doj. but i think -- politicization of the doj. but i think to be fair, anytime you have sort of a i don't want to say a suspicious person, but if you have someone who has done things that i think inarguably would be questionable -- howard: shadowy -- >> sort of like a sword of damocles hanging over your head. you also know, howie, that in the case of a person like this there's always what if, what might happen, and i think in this case the doj took action. howard: well, here's the irony, you have luft saying he tolling the fbi about -- told the fbi about the chinese company paying off t
