As reported by multiple outlets including CNN, CBS News, and The Hill, the employees lost their security clearances and access to work devices, a common practice during internal investigations. The nature of the potential misconduct remains unclear as the Office of Professional Responsibility begins its review.
The Secret Service has been under intense scrutiny following several high-profile incidents involving President Donald Trump. In April, an armed man breached security at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, which Trump was attending. Additionally, Trump recently acknowledged slipping away from Air Force One upon departing Turkey due to concerns over assassination threats from Iran.
The agency has also faced scrutiny after the Justice Department subpoenaed New York Times journalists for reporting on security concerns involving a Qatari-gifted Air Force One. These subpoenas were later withdrawn. Furthermore, the Secret Service confirmed an investigation into one of its agents serving on Vice President JD Vance’s security detail over allegations tied to a suspected news leak.
The Secret Service has also acknowledged awareness of a video aired by Iranian state media that appears to threaten the life of Barron Trump, President Donald Trump's youngest son. According to a statement from Secret Service spokesman Nate Herring, the agency investigates anything perceived as a threat toward its protectees but does not discuss matters of protective intelligence due to operational security concerns.
