Secret Service Communications Director Anthony Guglielmi and Two Staffers Placed on Leave Pending Misconduct Investigation

The U.S. Secret Service has placed three non-law enforcement personnel from its communications office on administrative leave pending an investigation into potential misconduct. Anthony Guglielmi, the agency's director of communications, is among those affected, and all three individuals have lost their security clearances and access to their work devices during the probe. An agency spokesperson stated that the Office of Professional Responsibility is leading the investigation. While the specific nature of the misconduct was not disclosed, the agency emphasized its commitment to maintaining high standards of professionalism and integrity. Gregg Bernstein, a spokesperson for Guglielmi, defended the communications director, noting his decades-long record of public service and full cooperation with the investigation. The move comes as the Secret Service faces increased scrutiny following several assassination attempts against President Trump and recent reports regarding a secret maneuver to move him safely away from Turkey. The agency continues to fulfill its zero-fail mission of protecting the President and and other high-level government officials.
