WASHINGTON (USATODAY) -- Looks like the "party crashers" story won't be ending anytime soon.

The House Homeland Security Committee is planning a hearing on how Michaele and Tareq Salahi slipped into the Nov. 24 state dinner without an invitation.

The committee wants to talk to the Salahis as well as U.S. Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan, whose office is also investigating the incident.

Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the Salahis said they are not trying to sell their story.

"The Salahis are not shopping any interviews or demanding money from any media networks to tell their story," said Mahogany Jones, a press agent for the couple.

President Obama, meanwhile, wants to see the incident investigated and problems resolved.

"The president is rightly concerned about what happened last week," said spokesman Robert Gibbs.
