One of JD Vance's Secret Service Agents Is Under Investigation for Leaking "Sensitive" Information

Just filled with rotten apples, one after another.

A member of Vice President JD Vance's Secret Service detail is under investigation for allegedly leaking sensitive information, the agency confirmed Thursday.

The administrative investigation could become a criminal inquiry, Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service's chief of communications, said, according to CBS News.

"While we will not comment on the specifics of this matter, one principle is unequivocal: any conduct that potentially threatens the safety of a protectee will not be tolerated," Gugliemi said.

The allegations, according to Gugliemi, involve compromising operational and information security. Gugliemi didn't provide specific allegations, nor did he name the person under suspicion.

The agent is on administrative leave as the government conducts both administrative and criminal investigations.

This follows last week's story that the White House teleprompter operator had made $100,000 making political bets on Kalshi, based, assumedly, on inside information about what Trump would be talking about before he actually said it.

President Donald Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is believed to have made tens of thousands of dollars by placing bets on more than a dozen of Trump's speeches on the prediction market Kalshi, federal investigators with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission found, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Gabriel Perez, a technical assistant to the president who has been operating Trump's teleprompter since 2016, is in talks with federal regulators to settle allegations he used his inside knowledge of the president's speeches to win more than $100,000, the sources said.

According to the sources, Kalshi alerted its regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), to the suspicious activity on its "Mentions" market, where users can bet on whether specific words, phrases or topics are uttered during a public speech.

"Our surveillance team promptly flagged and referred these trades to the CFTC, and we are cooperating and assisting regulators," Kalshi's head of enforcement, Bobby DeNault, said in a statement provided to ABC News.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday afternoon, following ABC News' report, that Perez has been put on unpaid administrative leave. Leavitt said she spoke with President Trump about it, and he thought it was a "disgrace" and made the decision himself to put Perez on unpaid.
