Secret Service Officers Sent Home Were Not Tasked With Guarding President Obama

ABC News’ Reena Ninan reports:

The Secret Service has removed several officers amid allegations of misconduct involving prostitution. An American official who is not authorized to speak about the incident tells ABC News the officers were not agents tasked with guarding President Obama.

The incident may have only involved one or two individuals, the American official said. It’s likely an entire unit was pulled while an investigation is underway. The officers were sent home and a new unit was brought in to replace them.

In a statement released by the Secret Service Friday night Spokesman Ed Donovan, a Special Agent said, “The Secret Service takes all allegations of misconduct seriously. This entire matter has been turned over to our Office of Professional Responsibility, which serves as the agency’s internal affairs component.”
