U.S. Secret Service officials placed on leave amid misconduct probe
Three non-law enforcement employees of the U.S. Secret Service have been placed on administrative leave following an investigation into potential misconduct. The individuals involved are members of the agency’s communications office, including Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi.
As part of the internal probe, the officials have reportedly lost their security clearances and access to their work devices. The investigation is being conducted by the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility. While the Secret Service has not specified the exact nature of the misconduct, some reports suggest the inquiry may involve the leaking of classified information to the media. One source indicated that the FBI and CIA may also be involved in the investigation.
The agency stated it is committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity to fulfill its mission of protecting high-level government officials.
