If you have specific questions after reviewing this =aterial, would you please send them to me by email? <1=> The Comprehensivene=s of the Review: <1=> On the morning of Apri= 20, 2012, the USSS informed the White House that an individual asso=iated with the White House advance team, Jonathan Dach, may have also had =n overnight guest at his hotel room. The USSS characterized this information as a "rumor" that USSS=personnel who were in Cartagena had learned during the course of the inves=igation into improper conduct of USSS personnel. < = > In response, the White=House Counsel requested that USSS provide her with any information that the USSS uncovered suggesting that White House =taff or volunteers may have engaged in inappropriate conduct on the trip.=C24) (1) T=e White House Counsel immediately initiated an internal review of the enti=e White House advance team (both staff and volunteers) that had traveled t= Colombia, including Jonathan Dach. (2)Th= White House included Dach in the internal review even though he was a vol=nteer, NOT an employee of the White House, who EFTA_R1_01305042 EFTA02340427 --had no security clearance or access to sensitive or classified informatio=, --had no responsibility for Presidential security, and, --was not subject to any disciplinary action by the White House because he =as a private citizen and not an employee. --every person who went on the trip was separately interviewed regardless o= whether they were White House employees or volunteers, including Dach;=/u> --e-mails, hotel manifests, and any other relevant information in the White=House's possession were reviewed and analyzed to see whether the d=cumentary evidence corroborated or contradicted the people who were interv=ewed --the White House Counsel further requested that the USSS continue to provi=e any information relevant to White House staff or volunteers. The Evidence about =ach Several weeks after th= White House review was concluded, the USSS provided the White House Couns=l with a handwritten, redacted document that the USSS had apparently obtai=ed from someone at the Hilton Hotel. The USSS represented that a hotel witness said that the log showed when ov=rnight guests had stayed at the hotel and in which room they had stayed.=C24, (1) T=e log indicated only that a guest had visited a certain room number. =The log did not contain Jonathan Dach's name or signature. =C24k The White House determined separately by cross-reference to the hotel manifest that the room number was assigned to Dach. =/u> Q=A0 (2) In light of this new info=mation, attorneys from the White House Counsel's office re-intervi=wed Dach and confronted him with the hotel log. Dach continued to de=y having a guest in his room, and his denials were deemed credible. <1=> 4,=A0 (3) The White Hou=e was aware of no information corroborating the hotel log, and it was awar= that on at least one other occasion, the USSS had determined that a simil=r hotel log had falsely implicated a USSS agent. The was the only information that the USSS every=provided to the White House related to Jonathan Dach or any other person a=sociated with the White House advance team. White House and DHS=Public Disclosures The White House was fo=thcoming about the review it conducted and its conclusion. (2) W=ite House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler reiterated that conclusion in a letter =o Chairman Darrell Issa in November 2012, making specific reference =o the hotel document that had been provided by the USSS. (3) =C2402012, the DHS Inspector General made clear in a letter sent to then-C=airman Lieberman that the USSS was aware of a hotel log potentially implic=ting someone affiliated with the White House advance team: 4)=A0 While=the scope of the investigation was limited to the conduct of the DHS perso=nel in Cartagena, we did find a hotel registry that suggests that two non-=SSS personnel may have had contact with foreign nationals. Although allegations related to the no=-USSS personnel were outside the scope of the investigation, one of these =mployees is a Department of Defense employee affiliated with the White Hou=e Communication Agency and the other, whose employment status was not verified, may have been a=filiated with the White House advance operation." (4) T=e DHS IG Report itself states: t>=A0 Based=on our interviews and review of records, we identified 13 USSS employees, =ne White House Communications Agency employee (an officer with the Departm=nt of Defense), and one reported member of the White House staff and/or advance team who had=personal encounters with female Colombia nationals consistent with the mis=onduct reported.
