Secret Service Agent Misconduct

The government is revealing details of serious allegations since 2004 against Secret Service agents and officers, including claims of involvement with prostitutes, leaking sensitive information, publishing pornography, sexual assault, illegal wiretaps, improper use of weapons and drunken behavior.

The Secret Service is operating under a new code of conduct.   The new rules prohibit agents from drinking excessively, visiting disreputable establishments while traveling or bringing foreigners to their hotel rooms.

A veteran Republican lawmaker says it's time for an inspector general's investigation to find how widespread the problems at the Secret Service are.

The chairman of a House committee investigating the alleged Secret Service prostitution scandal is predicting more firings, but lawmakers and President Barack Obama's top campaign adviser are expressing confidence that the agency will effectively deal with the incident.

The U.S. military says 11 service members are being investigated for alleged misconduct in Colombia. That's up from the 10 personnel the military last believed to be involved.

A top lawmaker briefed on the investigation into a Secret Service prostitution scandal predicted more firings would follow the forced ouster of three agency employees.

The Secret Service says three employees are out of the agency in the wake of a prostitution scandal in Colombia.

A senior Republican on the Senate's homeland security committee says at least 20 foreign women were involved in an incident in Colombia involving Secret Service agents, military personnel and prostitutes.

President Barack Obama says he expects the investigation of Secret Service misconduct in Colombia to be thorough and rigorous, and says he will "be angry" if the allegations turn out to be true.

A senior House Republican says he doubts that a Secret Service scandal involving prostitutes in Colombia was a one-time incident.
