Secret Service prostitution scandal
A scandal involving 12 U.S. secret service men and Colombian prostitutes before a recent presidential trip to Colombia. After the scandal broke, the Department of Homeland Security issued an investigation to determine whether this behaviour was common in the Secret Service, or simply a rare action. President Obama has called for a thorough investigation, and if found guilty, the men will lose their jobs. This scandal has raised concern over the leak of sensitive information, particularly surrounding the president of the United States and Colombian relations.
