WASHINGTON, April 21 (UPI) -- The head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is expected to resign in the wake of revelations agents had overseas "sex parties" and engaged in other illicit and illegal activities while on and off duty, CBS News and CNN reported Tuesday.
Michele Leonhart, the first woman to lead the agency, has been dogged with problems for months, including a recent congressional hearing on an inspector general report that found DEA agents had prostitute parties in Colombia funded by drug cartels. The damning report found agents with "top secret" clearance allowed drug cartel leaders to keep watch over their electronics while participating in the parties. Cartel leaders apparently supplied the funds and girls for the parties. The agents involved received light, if any, punishments for their involvement.
