Obama calls disgraced Secret Service agents ‘knuckleheads’ amid further resignations

Speaking about what happened in Cartagena, where prostitutes were allegedly
brought back to hotel rooms, he said: “What they were thinking, I don’t
know. That’s why they’re not there anymore.”

The incident occurred this month shortly before Barack
Obama
arrived for a meeting of regional presidents.

Twelve Secret Service agents were investigated over the incident, along with
12 other military personnel.

One was cleared of misconduct but ordered to take administrative leave.
Another two were cleared on Tuesday.

“At this point, all 12 have either been cleared of serious misconduct,
resigned, retired, been notified of personnel actions to permanently revoke
their security clearances, or have been proposed for permanent removal for
cause,” Assistant Director Paul Morrissey said in a statement.

“The Secret Service is committed to conducting a full, thorough and fair
investigation in this matter, and will not hesitate to take appropriate
action should any additional information come to light.”
