Two Secret Service agents have been subpoenaed for more information on an incident involving a pair of agents involved in a drunken accident outside of a White House barricade, The Huffington Post reports.
A House of Representatives committee said earlier this week that the subpoenas were necessary because the Secret Service has not been cooperative.
“We therefore must take the regrettable step of compelling the agents for interviews before the Committee,” Republican Jason Chaffetz, head of the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement.
Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson criticized the action, saying his department has been forthcoming. He called the subpoenas “unprecedented and unnecessary.”
The committee did not identify the agents who are being subpoenaed.
