You're right. I had to reread it to see that. It seems intentionally misleading.
"US Customs and Border Protection has repeatedly seized cocaine hydrochlorine as it comes into the country. In May, CBP found 5.56 kilos of the drug. "Officers tested the substance with a handheld elemental isotope analysis tool and identified it as cocaine hydrochloride. The cocaine weighed 5.56 kilograms, or 12 pounds, four ounces, and has a street value of about $400,000."
The article never says anything about there being 12 lbs at the White House lol. It says it was a baggy. It makes one reference to it but unrelated

You're right, I read it wrong. Thanks for the catch. I'll delete.
