In March, Secret Service employees originally accessed Chaffetz's 2003 application for a Secret Service job 18 minutes after the start of a congressional hearing on the latest scandal involving drunken behavior by senior agents, according to the report. Some forwarded the information to others, while at least 45 employees viewed the file, the report said. One week after accessing the information, Assistant Director Ed Lowery then suggested leaking embarrassing information about Chaffetz in retaliation for aggressive investigations by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee into a series of agency missteps and scandals, the report said. On April 2, the information about Chaffetz applying for a job at the Secret Service was then published by The Daily Beast and the Washington Post. "Some information that he might find embarrassing needs to get out. Just to be fair," Lowery wrote March 31 in an email to fellow Assistant Director Faron Paramore.
