Washington (HRNW)-\u00a0An investigation has been launched against a Secret Service officer associated with US Vice President JD Vance\u2019s security team. The officer is accused of passing sensitive information about the vice president\u2019s travel arrangements to the media.<\/p>\n
US Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed in a statement that an administrative investigation is underway against a member of the vice president\u2019s security unit, while a criminal investigation may also be initiated.<\/p>\n
According to the spokesman, the officer is accused of violating operational and information security regulations. He said that any activity that could jeopardize the security of a high-ranking official will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n
The matter came to light after a US broadcaster published a report that Vice President JD Vance had been requesting certain personal travel arrangements from his security team, which some officials were expressing displeasure over.<\/p>\n
According to the report, these requests also included an incident in which JD Vance allegedly wanted to take his son to a secure golf course for golf training by military helicopter.<\/p>\n
According to media reports, a proposal was under consideration to use a helicopter called Marine Two for this purpose. Marine Two is the official helicopter used for the travel of the US Vice President.<\/p>\n
However, the flight was later canceled due to bad weather and thunderstorms and the plan could not take shape.<\/p>\n
So far, there has been no detailed response to this report from JD Vance\u2019s office, while the Secret Service has refrained from commenting further until the investigation is complete.<\/p>\n
According to political observers, this matter raises important questions not only about the use of government resources but also about the disclosure of sensitive security information.<\/p>\n
