Secret Service agent suspected of JD Vance leak put on leave: report The agent is under internal review and has been placed on administrative leave - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments A Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance has been placed on administrative leave after reportedly leaking information about the vice president to the media, according to a new report. The agent is believed to have been a source for an MS NOW story this month about agents on Vance’s team being “fed up” with “inappropriate” travel requests, CNN reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. As part of the story, the outlet also reported on the vice president’s travel plans, including a planned helicopter trip with his son that was later called off. The Secret Service and the FBI took notice of the story, and were angered at the publication of operational details, one source said. The agent, who has not been identified, is now subject to an internal agency review while on administrative leave, CNN reported. It’s unclear if they could face legal repercussions.
