Secret Service Agent Suspended for Leaking Vance Travel Details
A Secret Service agent who works with Vice President JD Vance was suspended for telling a news outlet about Vance's travel plans.
The agent shared details about Vance asking for last-minute trips, like flying in a special helicopter for a golf lesson.
The trip didn't happen because of bad weather, but the request surprised many agents.
The agent also mentioned that Vance and his wife took several helicopter rides to look for a new home.
The helicopter costs a lot of money to operate, between $16,000 and $24,600 per hour.
The Secret Service is investigating the leak, but it's not clear if the agent will be punished.
