Not on the map

This event isn't on the map, but everything else — summary, consequences, sources — is unaffected.

The U.S. Secret Service placed three non-law enforcement employees, including Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi, on administrative leave pending an investigation into potential misconduct. The agency confirmed that the involved staff lost their security clearances and access to work devices while the Office of Professional Responsibility conducts the inquiry. This development followed recent agency probes into an alleged data leak by a member of Vice President JD Vance's security detail and public threats directed at Barron Trump.

Consequences

The ongoing internal investigations and administrative actions may further challenge the agency's operational stability amidst intense scrutiny regarding its protection of high-level government officials. These events occur as the agency continues to manage public pressure following multiple assassination plots and attempts involving former President Donald Trump.
