Women in Secret Service scandal not tied to cartels, terrorism: report
WASHINGTON | Wed May 2, 2012 12:45am EDT
(Reuters) - Secret Service personnel implicated in a prostitution scandal in Colombia paid 10 of the 12 women they were involved with and none of the women were found to be connected to terrorism or drug cartels, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
Late on Tuesday, Secret Service officials submitted 24 pages of written answers to congressional committees investigating last month's scandal which occurred ahead of President Barack Obama's visit to Cartagena, the newspaper reported.
The Post reported that congressional officials who read the responses said the agency considered the document "law enforcement sensitive" and is asking the committees not to release it publicly.
Secret Service investigators have interviewed 10 of the 12 women involved — who range in age from 20 to 39 — and plan to speak with the others as well, the paper said.
