Washington, D.C. - August 27, 2026In a stunning late night raid that has sent shockwaves through Washington, U.S. Secret Service Communications Director Anthony Guglielmi and two other senior officials were placed on administrative leave, had their government devices seized, and were physically escorted from the building after being caught leaking classified operational details.
Security clearances were immediately revoked as part of an internal misconduct probe now involving the CIA and FBI. The Secret Service has declined all comment, but sources confirm the officials were marched out under guard after investigators uncovered irrefutable evidence of unauthorized disclosures to the media.
The purge follows two explosive leaks that compromised presidential security: first, the revelation of a clandestine Air Force One aircraft-swap maneuver executed through a catering cart to evade detection, and second, granular details of Vice President JD Vance’s protective movements that never should have left a secure briefing room. These breaches occurred under Guglielmi’s watch and handed America’s adversaries a playbook on how the Trump administration moves its principals. For years Guglielmi had been the public face of the agency while privately deleting January 6 text messages and issuing false statements about the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt.
The X post from a pro-Trump account frames the administrative leave of three Secret Service communications officials, including director Anthony Guglielmi, as the firing of "traitors" for leaking classified details on Trump's Air Force One aircraft swap via catering truck and JD Vance's protective movements.
Verified reports from August 26, 2026, confirm the officials were placed on leave, had security clearances revoked, devices seized, and were escorted from headquarters during an internal Office of Professional Responsibility probe into potential misconduct and leaks of sensitive information.
The action follows a July 2026 leak investigation of a Vance detail agent and reports of Trump's secret plane switch in Turkey due to a credible Iranian missile threat, with the agency confirming only an ongoing review without specifying details or criminal charges.
