WASHINGTON (AP) — A new government investigation questions a Secret Service mission that pulled agents from their assignment near the White House and sent them to the rural Maryland home of an employee embroiled in a personal dispute with a neighbor.

The report by the Homeland Security Department’s inspector general calls the mission “problematic” and says it appears to have been motivated by the employee’s friendship with high-level Secret Service officials.

It says that on two occasions, agents were far from the White House while President Barack Obama was there.

The memo was obtained by The Associated Press Wednesday ahead of its public release. A Secret Service spokesman said the agency was reviewing the findings.
