Secret Service hit with fresh allegations of misconduct
USA Today: WASHINGTON – The Secret Service is investigating fresh allegations that agency officials cavorted with strippers and prostitutes ahead of President Obama's 2011 presidential trip to El Salvador, drawing new concerns from lawmakers that the agency has a broader cultural problem.
The agency acknowledged on Thursday that it's looking into allegations aired by Seattle's KIRO-TV, but emphasized that the report is the latest to "contain allegations by mostly unnamed sources." The alleged El Salvador incident occurred a year before reports that Secret Service agents used prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia, ahead of a presidential trip this month.
