Summary
Three Secret Service officials who are not law enforcement personnel were placed on leave pending a misconduct investigation, with two sources identifying communications director Anthony Guglielmi as one of them.
The agency did not say what prompted the inquiry or name the officials, saying only that it is pursuing standards of professionalism and integrity in its protective mission.
Gregg Bernstein, speaking for Guglielmi, said he is a professional of deep integrity who respects the agency's mission and is cooperating fully.
Guglielmi has served as communications director since March 2022 and later testified to the House Jan. 6 committee about Cassidy Hutchinson's account.
