Three non-law-enforcement Secret Service employees were placed on administrative leave Wednesday, but the agency isn’t saying what they’re accused of doing.
The move comes as the Secret Service’s professional standards office investigates the agency’s chief of communications, Anthony Guglielmi, and two other employees in the communication office.

Their security clearances and access to work devices have been revoked, which is standard practice during an internal investigation.
The agency has not said what triggered the probe.
Previous Secret Service concerns
The investigation comes about a month after a Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance’s security detail was placed on leave.
At the time, the agency was investigating an alleged leak of sensitive information about Vance’s travel.
As Straight Arrow previously reported, the agent is suspected of providing information for a recent MS NOW news story describing frustration within Vance’s protective detail.
As part of the story, the news organization shared specific details about Vance’s upcoming travel plans, including a Marine Corps helicopter trip with his son that was later canceled.
At the time, Guglielmi said the security detail member was under internal review and could face a criminal investigation over compromised “operational and information security.”
