Secret Service Agents Ousted After Prostitution Scandal
Why do they always think no one will ever find out?
CBS News has learned the names of two of the Secret Service agents being ousted from the agency for alleged inappropriate behavior involving prostitutes on a presidential mission to Cartagena, Colombia.
USSS supervisor David Chaney was the supervisor who was allowed to retire. USSS supervisor Greg Stokes was “removed with cause” and has the option to appeal the decision within 30 days. He was recently listed on the internet as the supervisor of the Canine Training Section of the Secret Service.
Attempts to reach both of them were unsuccessful.
A third agent resigned in the wake of the scandal, CBS News first reported Wednesday. At least eight other Secret Service employees remain under investigation and further resignations are expected. Ten defense personnel are also under investigation for alleged involvement.
The raucous party occurred just over one week ago. The government employees are believed to have spent the evening drinking, going to a strip club, and picking up prostitutes at multiple locations. The women had to check in at the hotel where the agents were staying and provide identification.
U.S. government investigators are now on the ground in Cartagena trying to piece together what happened last Wednesday night. Investigators have the names of all the women involved and none are believed to be underage. The youngest woman was 20 years old.
