Overview
- The Secret Service confirmed Tuesday that three non‑uniformed employees were put on administrative leave while the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility conducts an internal investigation.
- A source reported that the three work in the communications office and that at least one is communications chief Anthony Guglielmi, though the agency has not released names.
- The employees had their security credentials and access to work devices temporarily revoked, a standard containment step the agency uses during internal reviews.
- The agency declined to disclose the nature of the alleged misconduct, leaving open whether the inquiry relates to leak allegations that have prompted prior internal reviews.
- The move comes as the Secret Service faces heightened scrutiny over recent protective failures, reported plots against the president, and separate DOJ and congressional attention that could broaden oversight of the agency.
