A Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance has been placed on administrative leave after reportedly leaking information about the vice president to the media, according to a new report.

As part of the story, the outlet also reported on the vice president’s travel plans, including a planned helicopter trip with his son that was later called off.
