Spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said the case involves allegations that the member compromised “operational and information security,” but the agency did not disclose what information was allegedly leaked. The probe follows reporting that Vance’s detail raised complaints about hastily arranged travel, demands involving his family and use of government protective resources.
