this is joe clancy's first litmus test as director. if he does not get ahead of of this and if disciplinary action is warranted, he'll take it and he'll ensure that proper protocols were followed. >> can i ask you a separate issue, this is a thorn in my side. secret service related but not on this incident. when questions were coming at the director he was at an appropriations committee hearing. he asked in the midst of this that the secret service needs $8 million to build a replica of the white house for training purposes. $8 million in the scope of government funding, not a lot. 8 million to you, me and everyone else is a lot. it was described as my producer said they're asking for an $8 million dollhouse to train in. do they need it? >> absolutely. absolutely. you have to look at the way that the secret service has been funded in the past and what we've done with training. one of the biggest problems with the secret service is that we have not had adequate training year over year. i applaud joe clancy and senior management of the s

joe clancy is driving the bus right now. he is the head of this agency.of these issues. everything that's happened in the past we need to, you know learn from them we need to move beyond them and we need to start developing managers within the secret service that can move our agency forward. >> okay. but a lot of people are looking at this and saying but what are some of these front line guys doing here. scandsles like this have always gone on and the higher ups have been better at concealing them. >> what come out time and time again, is this the culture of the secret service, what a secret service agent is. the answer is emphatically no. this is not the culture of the secret service. the culture of the secret service for the men and women that get up every day and do the job is dedication dedication to the mission, is putting their life on the line every single day, for the protection offen, you know our infrastructure. >> right. >> so that's the real culture of the secret service. these are isolated incidents that have been, you know widely broadcast i

but the problem here is that the incident wasn't reported to joe clancy who is the director of secret service, until five days later, and that's what's raising a lot of questions about the culture at the secret service and has clancy really restored credibility to this agency since he took over several months ago. >> but erin, if the incident was overblown, and you're making it clear we don't know at this stage, but if, in fact, it was overblown in the presentation in "the washington post," that might explain why it wasn't brought to the atengts of the director for those five days. >> that is exactly right. what is clear is that there was potentially some sort of misconduct but because it made it into "the washington post," it is clear that joe clancy needed to be involved in some way. it also has made its way to the white house, but they're looking for some answers so joe clancy will be giving those answers to capitol hill in a series of private and public briefings on monday and tuesday. and we have already heard from the house republican who leads the committee on government oversi

long-time secret service agent joe clancy was just put into that position less than a month ago.ider wasn't brought in especially since one of the deep rooted problems identified within the service was that officers didn't trust and respect their supervisors. >> that was michelle kaczynski reporting. we're learning that joe clancy did not learn about the incident until five days after it occurred. sources would not say whether that was before or after the white house was informed. cnn newsroom continues to dig for this information and we will bring it to you as we get it. and we end the show with that. i'm george howell. thank you for watching. isha sesay is coming up next with more. you are watching cnn, the world's news leader. at tracfone, we believe that you should keep what you buy. that's why your unused talk, text and data never expires with active service. some major carriers say you can keep your data. but when you read the fine print, your data does expire. makes you wonder what else you're losing. but tracfone has unlimited carryover, so you get to keep your unused tal

let me talk about joe clancy talking about the alcohol problems among this elite force that protects the president. >> there is an element within our agency that copes with the stresses that many of you mentioned by using alcohol. there's no question we have that element. we also have other elements in our agency that go a different route. some go to exercise, some go to religion. but we do have an element that goes to alcohol. >> these are brave people who serve in these jobs but it raises the question if there is a big alcohol problem or a problem in behavior on the force, why can't they fix it? >> today was not a good day for the secret service. one of the biggest problems aside there alcohol is it took five days for anyone to tell the head of the secret service about this latest disaster with secret service agents driving into the white house, either crashing into something, perhaps they were intoxicated, perhaps they weren't. we'll never know because nobody did a breathalyzer on those agents. he was brought in to clean up a secret service that as you say, we should be really con
