Vance Secret Service Agent Suspended Amid Leak Probe

The agency says the probe could become criminal as investigators examine whether operational details about Vance’s travel were shared with MS NOW.

  • The Secret Service placed a member of Vice President JD Vance's protective detail on administrative leave yesterday, launching an internal affairs review and potential criminal inquiry into suspected leaks about his travel schedule.
  • A July 15 MS NOW report detailed agents' alleged frustration with Vance's frequent, last-minute travel requests, including an aborted Marine Two helicopter trip intended to take his son to a golf lesson near Joint Base Andrews.
  • Agents described these 'off the record' movements as a 'morale problem,' citing strain from canceled time off and rushed security planning. The Secret Service maintains a 'zero tolerance' policy for conduct compromising operational and information security.
  • Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi stated that "any conduct that potentially threatens the safety of a protectee will not be tolerated." The internal affairs division continues evaluating whether criminal charges are warranted against the unidentified agent.
  • This investigation coincides with the Trump administration's broader crackdown on unauthorized disclosures, including grand jury subpoenas issued to four New York Times reporters. Officials cite a 40 percent increase in threats against protectees this year.
