Johnson said the actions of 57 agency employees, including 11 senior officials, were reviewed as part of an international investigation about agency personnel accessing records about Chaffetz, R-Utah. Details of the files, including a decade-old failed job application, were leaked to the news media and sparked yet another embarrassing scandal for the agency charged with protecting the president and his family.
