on the handling of the secret service episode. so the advance team member, the difference being, he never got exposed, never suffered the punishment doled out to a dozen agents who got caught up in the whole matter. joining me now, two white house correspondents, kristen welker with nbc news and david with the washington post. jonathan dock had a sex worker at his hotel room on that trip to colombia. quote, the hotel logs for dach s stay, showed that a woman was registered to his room at on april 4, including an attached photocopy i.d. of the woman. it matches that of a woman advertising herself as a prostitute. dach has denied hiring a prostitute or bringing anyone to his room. this secret service agent who is added to the witness list, along with the hotel logs, is he going to come forward? he came forward to talk with the investigators. his eyewitness account stands as far as, the question is whether they ll continue to talk about this publicly, i don t know. but as fa
