A Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail is currently under investigation for allegations of compromising operational and information security. The agent has been removed from the detail and placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the probe.
The Secret Service chief of communications stated that the agent is the subject of an administrative investigation and a potential criminal inquiry. This internal review focuses on the agent's alleged compromise of information and operational security.
The suspicion arose after information appeared in an MS Now report concerning a planned Marine Corps helicopter trip for the vice president and his son to a golf lesson. The probe also follows reports that agents had privately griped about last-minute travel requests made by Vance and his family.
