A lawyer for the two ousted supervisors, Greg Stokes and David Chaney, has said that whatever may or may not have been happened at the Hotel Caribe did not impact the officers' mission or compromise the president's security. No other agent or military personnel has been named. Lawmakers have asked investigators for more details about exactly what happened and who was involved. The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, told "Fox News Sunday" that his panel was launching a "broader investigation" and would send the Secret Service a detailed list of questions about the conduct of its employees on and off duty. The House Homeland Security Committee has already sent Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan a list of 50 specific questions, including a request for "a comprehensive, minute-by-minute timeline." "Every possible lead is being examined," Committee Chairman Peter King, R-N.Y., told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "What they were thinking is beyond me," added King, who has also said he expects more officers to lose their jobs. The issue is expected to move to Capitol Hill in earnest on Wednesday when Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a previously scheduled oversight hearing. The Southern Command said military investigators have returned from Colombia and will now conduct interviews in the United States.
