Three Secret Service communications staff placed on leave pending misconduct probe

The Secret Service confirmed that three non-law-enforcement personnel from its communications office, among them chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi, have been placed on administrative leave while a misconduct investigation proceeds. As part of the process, the staff members have been stripped of their security clearances and device access, a routine step in such probes. The agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility is conducting the review, but officials declined to provide specifics about the alleged conduct.

The statement emphasized the Service’s commitment to professionalism and integrity in its mission to protect top officials. This action comes weeks after a separate inquiry into a member of Vice President JD Vance’s security team for allegedly leaking sensitive information, which was described as both an administrative investigation and a potential criminal inquiry.
