Secret Service Puts VP Vance Detail Agent on Leave After Undercover Video Alleges Security Breaches

The case prompted an internal review that sidelines the agent pending findings.

Overview

  • O'Keefe Media Group released redacted footage from October 2025 meetings arranged via a dating app, alleging the agent shared sensitive protective information.
  • The Secret Service placed Tomas Escotto on administrative leave, suspended his security clearance, and revoked his access to agency facilities and systems.
  • Deputy Director Matthew Quinn ordered agencywide anti‑espionage retraining and said the conduct is being examined as potential code‑of‑conduct violations.
  • The published material purportedly includes protective formations, exact shift times, travel plans shared days ahead, real‑time locations, and on‑duty photos from secure environments such as Air Force Two.
  • The agency said it cannot confirm criminal law violations and no charges have been announced, and OMG says it consulted the Secret Service to redact operational details before publication.
