Secret Service Probes 1 Vance Detail Member Over Suspected Leak as Criminal Inquiry Looms
3 articles · Updated · NBC Washington · Jul 23
Summary
A Secret Service member assigned to JD Vance’s protective detail is under internal investigation and possible criminal review over a suspected leak that the agency said may have compromised operational and information security.
Anthony Guglielmi said the case stems from an MS NOW report last week that cited agents privately complaining about last-minute travel requests from Vance and his family.
The agency did not identify the person under investigation, and Vance’s office referred questions back to the Secret Service.
The probe follows the member’s removal from Vance’s detail earlier Thursday and comes as the agency stresses that any conduct threatening a protectee’s safety will not be tolerated.
