The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a member of Vice President J.D. Vance’s protective detail after allegations that the person compromised operational and information security, according to multiple outlets citing Secret Service statements. ABC News, CBS News, The New York Times, The Independent, and the Washington Times report that the Secret Service says the individual is the subject of an administrative investigation. CBS and The New York Times specify the alleged breach involves “compromising operational and information security.” NBC News adds that the individual has been removed from the protective detail while the investigation proceeds. The Washington Times reports that the case could also involve a potential criminal inquiry. The Guardian, citing information attributed to Secret Service communications and reporting described by CNN, says the agent came under suspicion after information appeared in a report about Vance’s helicopter trip with his son, including details tied to the trip and a subsequent golf lesson. Breitbart likewise reports that the investigation relates to suspected leaking of information about Vance’s travel to the press. Across sources, no outlet reports confirmed wrongdoing, the scope of the leak, or the identity of the agent.
