Anthony Guglielmi, a Secret Service spokesperson, said the
security-team member faces an internal investigation and
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.
Vance’s office referred questions to the Secret Service.
Vance and his wife, Usha, live in the vice president's residence
at the U.S. Naval Observatory along with their young children.
On Sunday, the couple welcomed their fourth child, Alec Neel
Vance, the first baby born to a sitting vice president in more
than 150 years. He's joined by older siblings Ewan, 9; Vivek, 6;
and Mirabel, 4.
