Washington, D.C. (KTNV) -- Federal investigators concluded their probe into the president's security, and found Secret Service officers were not compromised as a result of the recent prostitution scandal.

Back in April, several Secret Service agents were accused of hiring prostitutes while on duty with President Barack Obama in Colombia.

The Department of Homeland Security launched an investigation and now says there is no evidence the agents placed the president in harm's way.

Of the 13 agents implicated in the scandal, nine have resigned or are in the process of being terminated. The other four were cleared and returned to duty.
