Story highlights A security supervisor said "approximately 65 agents" traveled to Canada with Hillary Clinton That report was picked up by conservative media and an anti-Clinton group "This number is grossly inaccurate and exaggerated," a Secret Service source tells CNN
And the head of TCU Place, the venue for Clinton's event, now says the comment that came from a venue employee was incorrect.
News Talk 980 CJME, a local radio station in Saskatoon, reported on Wednesday night that a security supervisor from the venue hosting Clinton said "approximately 65 agents" were in house to protect the former first lady.
Poll: Clinton clobbers potential GOP foes
The news ballooned on Thursday morning when the conservative Weekly Standard cited the radio station in a post, the influential Drudge Report linked to the story and the anti-Clinton super PAC America Rising blasted an email to reporters about Clinton's "army of Secret Service agents, paid for at taxpayer expense."
All of this, however, was incorrect, says a source at the Secret Service.
"Although it's our policy not to discuss specific security measures, in this instance we can say this number is grossly inaccurate and exaggerated," the source said.
Bob Korol, the CEO of TCU Place, told CNN on Friday morning that the statement that 65 agents were protecting Clinton was a "miscomment" by the security supervisor.
"It was a miscomment," said Korol, who said the security supervisor was not the director of security and would not have been privy to those numbers.
"I don't know exactly how many it was," Korol said. "But I don't think it was 65."

The potential Republican presidential candidates who addressed the Iowa Freedom Summit on Saturday sought to distinguish themselves from one another, jockeying for an early advantage in what will likely be a crowded primary field.
But many of them also fixed their sights beyond the primary on the woman many assume their party will face in the general election: Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Some potential Republican candidates for president are sharing the stage at the Iowa Freedom Summit in Des Moines. It is billed as the first big ...
Clinton, though she has not yet declared a candidacy, earned condemnation from many potential candidates who took the stage in Des Moines. Some tore into her record as the nation's top diplomat; others portrayed her as a member of the old guard, incapable of changing D.C. Many sought to tie her inextricably to President Obama, whom they deem a failure.
"Over the past six years, we have seen the fruits of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy of receding from leadership in the world," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. "Leading from behind doesn't work."
Cruz said the threats the U.S. is facing today are "every bit as ominous" as those faced before World War II. He called for "clarity of thought and voice and action" as the U.S. responds to the threat posed by "radical Islamic terrorism."
Former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin questioned whether Hillary Clinton could credibly campaign as a change agent.
"Is Hillary a new Democrat, or an old one?" Palin asked. "Now, the press asks, 'Can anyone stop Hillary?'...Hey Iowa, can anyone stop Hillary? Let's borrow a phrase - yes we can - and it starts here and it starts now."
