Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman (D-CT) told Fox News Sunday he has seen no evidence that national security information was compromised in the Secret Service scandal involving prostitutes.

“The answer I’m going to give is not conclusive, but from everything I’ve heard up until this point, no evidence that information was compromised,” he said.

But Lieberman expressed concern that if Secret Service agents are seen as “acting like a bunch of college kids on spring weekend” while on assignment, “then people who are hostile to the U.S., people who actually want to attack the president of the United States, will begin to take advantage of that vulnerability.”

The senator said he still has confidence in Secret Service director Mark Sullivan, who he said “has acted with a sense of urgency and determination” to right the wrongs of what happened in Colombia.
