The US Secret Service announced that one member of the security team of JD Vance, the vice president of the United States, has been suspended over allegations of leaking sensitive information and is under investigation.

The intelligence details that are said to have been leaked have not been released, but Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the US Secret Service, said the officer could face criminal investigations—investigations into allegations of putting operational security and information security at risk.

He added: “Any conduct that could potentially compromise the security of the individual under protection will not be tolerated.”

The White House has declined to comment on these investigations.

However, last week the network “MSN Now,” citing informed sources, reported that some members of Mr. Vance’s security team were dissatisfied with his family’s travel arrangements. According to CNN, the officer’s suspension is linked to the same report.
