More than 40 Secret Service agents were disciplined stemming from the disclosure of the personnel files of Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah.
The agent who leaked the information has resigned, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said.
The investigation led to 41 agents being disciplined, from receiving letters of reprimand to suspensions without pay for up to 45 days, ABC News reports.
“Like many others I was appalled by the episode reflected in the Inspector General’s report, which brought real discredit to the Secret Service,” said Johnson.
Agents searched the confidential personnel file of Chaffetz, who was investigating a number of security lapses and scandals at the Secret Service.
