as nearly two dozen secret service agents and members of the military were punished or fired following a 2012 prostitution scandal in colombia (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/us-secret-service-agents-recalled-from-colombia/2012/04/13/giqaedw9ft_story.html), obama administration officials repeatedly denied that anyone from the white house was involved.but new details drawn from government documents and interviews show that senior white house aides were given information at the time suggesting that a prostitute was an overnight guest in the hotel room of a presidential advance-team member — yet that information was never thoroughly investigated or publicly acknowledged.
the information that the secret service shared with the white house included hotel records and firsthand accounts — the same types of evidence the agency and military relied on to determine who in their ranks was involved
whether the white house volunteer, jonathan dach, was involved in wrongdoing in cartagena, colombia, remains unclear. Dach, then a 25-year-old yale university law student, declined to be interviewed, but through his attorney he denied hiring a prostitute or bringing anyone to his hotel room. Dach has long made the same denials to white house officials.dach this year started working full time in the obama administration on a federal contract as a policy adviser in the office on global women’s issues at the state department.
dach’s father, leslie dach, is a prominent democratic donor who gave $23,900 to the party in 2008 to help elect obama. In his previous job as a top lobbyist for wal-mart, he partnered with the white house on high-profile projects, including michelle obama’s “let’s move!” campaign.
he, too, joined the obama administration this year. In july, he was named a senior counselor with the department of health and human services, where part of his responsibilities include handling the next phase of the affordable care act.
