The Secret Service’s first female director was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to discuss the misbehavior of her male subordinates.
CNN reports that Secret Service Director Julia Pierson brushed off allegations of widespread problems among employees, saying recent highly publicized allegations were unusual.
“These are isolated incidents of misconduct and we’re working every day to correct our behavior,” Pierson told reporters Tuesday after leaving a closed meeting with top senators on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Three agents were recently sent home after they were found drunk at a hotel in the Netherlands.
“We’re human and we make mistakes,” Pierson said when asked why the agency continues to be plagued by such problems.
