A Secret Service agent on Vice President JD Vance’s security detail has been put on administrative leave amid an internal review into allegations of leaking information to the press. The agent is suspected of being a source for a recent story about the purported burden the vice president’s personal travel schedule has placed on his security team.
Internal Review Underway
The review is being conducted by the agency’s internal affairs component, and it is unclear if any administrative punishment or criminal charges could be forthcoming. The story in question included details about Vance’s travel plans, including a trip with his son on a Marine Corps helicopter to a golf lesson, which was later aborted.
The incident has drawn attention from Secret Service, FBI, and White House officials, who are concerned about operational details being disclosed to the press. The development comes as the Trump administration has vowed to crack down on unauthorized disclosures to the media.
