Blackburn calls for full audit of 'every single employee' on Secret Service payroll

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is calling for the U.S. Secret Service to conduct a full audit of "every single employee on its payroll," citing numerous security concerns such as the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting as a recent example.

Blackburn said the correspondents' dinner incident shows the agency needs to be cleaned up.

"Following a string of scandals, personnel issues, and security failures, I am calling on the Secret Service to conduct an immediate audit of every single employee on its payroll. If this agency does not root out the rot, our nation will suffer the consequences," Blackburn wrote on X alongside a copy of her letter.
