A U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to protect Vice President JD Vance has been suspended and faces a potential criminal investigation for allegedly leaking sensitive operational and security information. The suspension occurs as Secret Service Director Sean Curran warned that threats against high-profile officials—driven by online hostility, foreign adversaries, and ideological extremism—have surged to unprecedented levels, with agents opening nearly 10,000 threat investigations this year alone.
