A Secret Service agent assigned to JD Vance has been put on leave after he spilled 'sensitive details' about his job protecting the vice president.
The agent, who has not been identified by Secret Service, revealed the secrets on a date with a woman who was really an 'undercover journalist' working for conservative influencer James O'Keefe.
The agent reveals important information regarding the vice president's travel schedule and told her various advanced security tactics, in a video released just days after Vance's Cincinnati home was attacked.
He went into detail about how the Secret Service protects the second most powerful man in America, even showing the woman his badge and sending her photos of himself on Air Force Two.
The agent disclosed all this despite admitting on camera that he'd signed non-disclosure agreements on the information he was relaying to her.
The agent has worked for the service for five years dating back to the Biden administration according to NewsNation.
He also admitted to voting for Joe Biden over Trump and said regarding the president's immigration crackdown: 'I hate that [ICE] s***.'
Upon O'Keefe publishing the video, the agent has been placed on administrative leave and had his clearance suspended.
'The US Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees,' Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn said.
Quinn, who did not confirm the agent's identity, added that the agent is now under investigation and could potentially face further discipline.
'The US Secret Service has also issued an order for all personnel to retake the agency's required anti-espionage training in order to ensure employees are aware of the threats posed by individuals aiming to exploit agency employees for information about our protective operations,' Quinn said.
He also spoke of the Secret Service's '160-year-old tradition of discretion,' adding there was 'no tolerance for employees who fail to meet this standard.'
'The U.S. Secret Service deeply apologizes to the Vance family for this violation of their trust and privacy.'
O'Keefe revealed that Quinn had also sent out an internal memo, claiming the agent 'was deliberately targeted and manipulated by a citizen-journalism media organization that misrepresented itself in an effort to get close to the employee and expose sensitive information.'
The Daily Mail has reached out to a spokesperson for Vance for comment.
The reveal comes just days after a hammer-wielding maniac who smashed four windows at Vance's Cincinnati home was arrested by the Secret Service after an overnight break-in.
William DeFoor, 26, was charged with one count each of obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass and vandalism.
Secret Service agents heard a loud noise at the home around midnight and spotted DeFoor running from the home, which is the secondary residence for Vance, his wife Usha and their three young children, who were out of town at the time.
DeFoor was detained by Secret Service agents shortly after. When an officer informed the suspect of his rights, he responded: 'I don't know,' the arrest report says.
He had also allegedly vandalized a Secret Service vehicle on his way up the home's driveway.
No motive has been released.
Vance posted on X: 'I appreciate everyone's well wishes about the attack at our home. As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows. I'm grateful to the secret service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly.
'We weren't even home as we had returned already to DC.'
