Vance detail Secret Service agent on leave
Multiple reports indicate a Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance has been placed on administrative leave and placed under internal review after suspected leaks about the vice president’s travel plans surfaced in an MS NOW news report. A second source has said officials identified a person believed to have disclosed the information, and the investigation is being handled by the Secret Service’s internal affairs division, with possible disciplinary or criminal consequences yet to be determined. The articles describe anger among Secret Service, FBI, and White House officials over the publication of operational details surrounding Vance’s movements, including a canceled Marine Corps helicopter trip with his son. The scrutiny highlights tensions within the protection detail amid the demanding travel schedule and last-minute changes that some agents found burdensome. The reporting ties into broader concerns within the administration about unauthorized disclosures to the press, as agencies seek to protect sensitive security information.
