Secret Service brothel scandal goes before Senate committee, plus more to watch for Wednesday in politics
Get ready to hear more details Wednesday about the Secret Service brothel scandal.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee holds the first congressional hearing on the matter, and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, says in prepared remarks that the scandal was not an isolated incident. She says several groups of Secret Service employees visited bars and brothels in Colombia prior to President Barack Obama's arrival last month and engaged in reckless, "morally repugnant" behavior.
President Obama delivers the commencement address at the U.S. Air Force Academy and then heads to fundraisers in Colorado and California.
Mitt Romney speaks at The Latino Coalition Economic Summit in Washington, and so does Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Rubio has been mentioned as a Romney running mate.
And then there is this: Yes, the jury is going into a fourth day of deliberations in the John Edwards campaign finance trial. The wait for a verdict goes on.
