Summary
Three U.S. Secret Service officials were placed on administrative leave Tuesday as the agency opened an internal misconduct investigation, with no details yet released on the allegations.
The review is being handled by the Office of Professional Responsibility, and the agency said the three officials were not serving in law-enforcement roles.
The move lands as the Secret Service faces heavy scrutiny after three separate assassination attempts against President Donald Trump, including the Butler, Pennsylvania attack that triggered congressional hearings.
A new threat picture is also widening: the agency said Tuesday it was investigating a video tied to Iran that mapped locations linked to Barron Trump and offered a $10 million reward for his whereabouts.
Former agent Tim Miller said the service now faces an unprecedented mix of foreign and domestic threats, underscoring pressure on the agency to strengthen protection while managing internal discipline.
