Secret Service agent for JD Vance SIDELINED over accusations of leaking info about second family's travels

Published: 05:03, 23 July 2026 | Updated: 05:29, 23 July 2026 A Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance's security detail has reportedly been sidelined for allegedly leaking information about his travels. The unidentified agent is accused of leaking the information to MS Now for a story about agents on the vice president's security detail being dismayed by his personal travel schedule, sources told CNN.  As part of the coverage, MS Now described Vance's planned travel, including flying with his son on a Marine Corps helicopter for a golf lesson - a plan that was later scrapped due to severe thunderstorms and high winds. It described how agents tasked with protecting Vance, his wife, Usha, and their three young children became 'fed up' with the vice president's last-minute travel demands.  The article further described how the Secret Service referred to the vice president using the codename 'Bobcat,' to reflect his early roots.  It cited 'people with knowledge of [Vance's] flight plans' and 'administration officials with knowledge of his schedule' as well as an 'additional source with knowledge of their travel who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.' When the story was then published earlier this month, it caught the attention of the Secret Service, FBI and White House officials, who became irate that operational details were described in the press, one of the sources said.  The agent is now facing an internal review from the agency's internal affairs component and has been placed on administrative leave, the sources said.  A Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance's security detail has reportedly been sidelined for allegedly leaking information about his travels The article described how agents tasked with protecting Vance, his wife, Usha, and their three young children became 'fed up' with the vice president's last-minute travel demands It remains unclear whether the agent will face any possible administrative punishments or whether criminal charges could be forthcoming. The development comes as the Trump administration vows to crack down on what it has called 'unauthorized disclosures' to the press.  Earlier this month, four New York Times reporters were subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in connection with their reporting about security features onboard President Donald Trump's new presidential aircraft, which was gifted to him by the nation of Qatar.  The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House and the US Secret Service for comment.  This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
