Secret Service chief refusing to allow witnesses to testify, congressmen say | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"Key lawmakers fired off an angry letter to Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy Sunday, pressing him to allow four witnesses in an ongoing investigation of a March 4 incident at the White House to testify before Congress.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and ranking member Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said they were "very disappointed" to receive a letter from Clancy informing them that he would be the sole witnesses at a Tuesday hearing.
The committee had sought testimony from four other individuals who witnessed the sequence of events that took place earlier this month, in which two senior agents allegedly drove into an active crime scene investigation of a suspicious package and were accused of drinking and driving their government-owned vehicles.
"We invited additional witnesses to answer fundamental questions about the incident and the agency's response that you have been unable to answer during two congressional hearings and one closed-door briefing for a bipartisan group of members and their staff," they wrote."
