Overview
- The Secret Service confirmed late Tuesday that three non-law-enforcement employees were placed on administrative leave and an internal probe by the Office of Professional Responsibility has been opened.
- Multiple outlets report the three work in the agency’s communications office and that Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi is among those sidelined, though the agency has not officially named the individuals.
- Reporting says the staffers had their security clearances suspended and access to government devices revoked, and some sources say they were escorted out of offices and designated “do not admits,” but those specific details have not been confirmed by the agency.
- Journalists and some officials link the inquiry to ongoing leak investigations — including coverage of the president’s covert departure from Turkey and a separate probe of a Vice President J.D. Vance protective‑detail member — and some outlets report FBI and CIA involvement without official confirmation.
- The suspensions come as the Secret Service faces heightened scrutiny over recent protective failures and security controversies, and the outcome could affect internal discipline, external criminal referrals, and the agency’s public credibility.
