U.S. Secret Service Slackers? Probably.

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating how an intruder managed to enter the home of national security adviser Jake Sullivan in April without being detected by his security detail, the agency said Tuesday.

The incident occurred in late April, when an unknown man, apparently intoxicated, walked into Sullivan's home in Washington, D.C., around 3 a.m., a U.S. law enforcement official said. Sullivan confronted him and told him to leave. The Secret Service detail outside, which consisted of more than two people, was not aware of the intrusion until Sullivan told them. There were no signs of forced entry and the intruder is still at large.
