3 Secret Service officials put on leave amid probe into "potential misconduct"

Three U.S. Secret Service employees, including Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi, have been placed on administrative leave as the agency investigates "potential misconduct." The employees have also had their security clearances and access to work devices suspended, a standard procedure during internal investigations.

“

The U.S. Secret Service is committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in fulfilling our zero-fail mission of protecting the President and other high-level government officials.

The Secret Service confirmed the action, referring to the individuals as "non-law enforcement personnel." The agency emphasized its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in its mission to protect high-level government officials.

“

Our critical work demands that our workforce maintain an unwavering commitment to duty, honesty, and courage in all aspects of their jobs.

While the specific details of the investigation remain unclear, the move follows a recent probe into another Secret Service member for allegedly leaking sensitive information. The agency has called that investigation both an "administrative investigation" and a "potential criminal inquiry."
