3 Secret Service officials placed on leave amid misconduct investigation

Three Secret Service officials, including communications chief Anthony Guglielmi, have been placed on leave amid an internal misconduct investigation. Their security clearances and access to work devices have been revoked, a common practice during such cases. The nature of the allegations remains unclear, and an agency spokesperson stated that the incident is under investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility.

The Secret Service emphasized its commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. This investigation follows a period of increased scrutiny for the agency, particularly regarding its handling of security during high-profile events and threats to former President Trump.
