Secret Service agent on leave over Vance leaks; charges
The U.S. Secret Service says a member of Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail is on administrative leave and under investigation, with potential criminal charges being considered for alleged leaks of information about Vance’s travel and security arrangements. Multiple outlets have reported that the leak concerns details such as travel plans and the use of Marine Two for a family trip, prompting internal reviews by the agency’s internal affairs division. The Secret Service emphasized that any conduct threatening a protectee’s safety will not be tolerated, while Vance’s office declined to comment on specifics. The episodes have drawn attention to morale and resource concerns within the detail and have occurred amid broader political scrutiny of leaks and security communications. Officials have not publicly confirmed exact charges or disciplinary actions, and some details remain unverified by independent corroboration.
