The allegations include reports of drinking and soliciting prostitutes Wednesday night at the Hotel Caribe.



The scandal broke open Thursday morning when an argument allegedly took place between one of the Secret Service officials and a woman who said she hadn't been paid.



Prostitution is legal in Colombia, but the concern is that the security of the president could have been compromised.



Members of Congress vowed to investigate.



"Whatever they do in their personal lives should not be done in Colombia, and should not be done when they're getting ready for the president of the United States to come in," said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. "Their job is to protect the president."



None of the Secret Service members were in the elite detail that protects the president. And officials said this incident was more about personal misconduct than it was an operation failure.
