A member of Vice President JD Vance's security detail is being investigated over allegations tied to a suspected news leak, the U.S. Secret Service said Thursday.
Anthony Guglielmi, a Secret Service spokesperson, said the security team member faces an internal investigation and a potential criminal inquiry over allegations involving compromised "operational and information security."
"While we will not comment on the specifics of this matter, one principle is unequivocal: any conduct that potentially threatens the safety of a protectee will not be tolerated," Guglielmi said in a statement.
The agency did not identify the person under investigation.
The Secret Service said the investigation is tied to a report from MS NOW last week saying that some Secret Service agents had privately expressed frustration over last-minute travel requests from Vance and his family.
