The committee will ask whether Sullivan is satisfied with the investigation into what occurred in Cartagena , Colombia , Lieberman said . Secondly , Lieberman said , the committee will ask , `` Were there indications before the Colombian scandal of behavior by Secret Service agents off duty on assignment that should have been a warning that this was coming ? '' `` And third , what are you going to do , Director Sullivan , to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again . '' Two weeks ago , the committee sent Sullivan a list of questions to answer by Monday . The incident , which transpired a month ago in advance of President Obama 's trip to the Summit of the Americas , was `` heartbreaking '' and `` dangerous , '' said Lieberman , an Independent from Connecticut . It involved roughly 20 alleged prostitutes , and has so far resulted in the dismissal of nine Secret Service members . Three other Secret Service agents were cleared of serious misconduct . The military is investigating the alleged involvement of 12 service members . Photos : A decade with the Secret Service . Sen. Carl Levin , D-Michigan , chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee , has said there is no evidence the president 's security was put at risk due to the incident . He noted that the president 's schedule was not kept in the hotel rooms of any service members believed to be involved in the scandal . Sen. John McCain , the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee , said no classified information or weapons were present at the Hotel Caribe , where the alleged incident occurred . Rep. Peter King , chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security , announced Sunday that he declined a request from one of the Colombian prostitutes that he meet with her . An attorney for Dania Londono Suarez contacted the committee with the request , he said in a statement . `` While such a meeting -- and the inevitable circus atmosphere surrounding it -- would no doubt be of great interest to the media covering this story , a meeting with her is simply not necessary at this time for the committee to conduct a serious and thorough investigation . For now , I have directed my staff to communicate with and gather information about the misconduct from the woman via her attorney . '' Secret Service investigators have interviewed her , King said . Londono gave a lengthy , wide-ranging interview to Colombia 's W Radio on Friday .
