The U.S. Secret Service has launched an internal investigation into a security agent responsible for protecting Vice President JD Vance, suspecting that the agent may have leaked sensitive operational information. The investigation follows reports of dissatisfaction among agents due to frequent last-minute trips organized for Vance, which forced them to hastily revise security plans. One such incident involved the cancellation of a helicopter flight meant to transport Vance’s son to a golf event. The Trump administration defended the use of the helicopter, citing operational necessity. Current and former agents expressed frustration over the lack of advance notice for these trips, comparing Vance’s behavior to that of a senator. The Secret Service emphasized the importance of discipline and commitment in their role, while some agents reportedly created unofficial memorabilia mocking Vance’s nickname 'Bobcat' and his unpredictable travel schedule.
