This is extremely concerning. A U.S. Secret Service agent named Tomas Escotta has been suspended after he put Vice President JD Vance’s life in danger by leaking sensitive security information. During a Tinder date with an undercover journalist working for James O’Keefe, Escotta openly spoke about his work on Vance’s security detail. He revealed Vance’s travel plans, shift schedules, information about his children, and more to a total stranger. In addition, he sent the undercover reporter images with location metadata while on the job.

Escotto is a holdover from the Biden administration and stated that he voted for Joe Biden, while expressing opposition to ICE & the Trump administration’s immigration policies. “I hate that [ICE] sh*t.” Tomas Escotto, a current U.S. Secret Service agent on Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, was recorded on hidden camera providing an undercover journalist with sensitive security information, including protective formations, shift schedules, travel plans, & real-time locations. The Secret Service agent detailed how the Vice President is physically surrounded, described multiple daily shift changes, & disclosed advance security procedures. In addition to past movements, the agent revealed future travel plans, sometimes days in advance. Escotto even sent images from Air Force Two while onboard with the Vice President. Despite acknowledging that he signed paperwork prohibiting the disclosure of sensitive information, the Secret Service agent repeatedly shared details with someone he believed was a casual romantic interest. While the safety of the Vice President and his family was always our top priority, what OMG uncovered raises serious questions about operational security, protocol compliance, and oversight within the U.S. Secret Service. Our team coordinated with the U.S. Secret Service ahead of publication, redacted sensitive operational details at their request. We were just informed Tomas Escotto has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked. Here’s a closer look at some of the messages Escotto sent to the undercover reporter: In addition to suspending Escotto, the Secret Service is forcing all agents to take anti-espionage training again. The Secret Service sent out this email to agents ahead of O’Keefe’s video: .⁦@SecretService⁩ Deputy Dir.

This is the second time in less than a year that our personnel have been subjected to this same deceptive tactic. Sadly in this instance, the employee failed to meet the standards demanded of this agency and engaged in conduct that runs counter to our values, our policies, and the training we provide to prevent exactly this type of compromise. I recognize that situations like this can involve real personal pressures, and I do not dismiss the gravity of that. Still, I am disappointed in how this was handled and in the impact it will have on others. When one person falls short, it places an added burden on colleagues who are left to rebuild trust that each of us works hard every day to earn and protect. The truth is, the overwhelming majority of you get this right. You show up with professionalism, humility, and a deep respect for the privacy of those we protect. You embody service over self, and you honor the discretion that our protectees deserve. That discretion is not negotiable. Discretion and respect for privacy are fundamental to this work and to the trust placed in us. If someone cannot meet that expectation consistently, then this may not be the right type of profession for them. I would ask those individuals to take a moment to reevaluate why they are here and why we do this job. Our mission demands a higher standard, and we owe it to each other and to those we protect to uphold it. To the overwhelming majority – the quiet professionals exceeding the standard everyday – thank you for your support, service and sacrifice.” Deputy Director Matthew Quinn also provided the following statement to OMG directly: “The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked. The U.S. Secret Service has also issued an order for all personnel to retake the agency’s required anti-espionage training in order to ensure employees are aware of the threats posed by individuals aiming to exploit agency employees for information about our protective operations. The U.S. Secret Service has a 160-year-old tradition of discretion that sets this agency apart, and we have no tolerance for employees who fail to meet this standard. The U.S. Secret Service deeply apologizes to the Vance family for this violation of their trust and privacy. The faith our protectees place in this agency is not something the U.S. Secret Service takes lightly, and we are committed to taking the necessary actions to ensure that a similar breach of standards does not occur again.” In light of the recent break-in at JD Vance’s Ohio home and the multiple attempts on President Trump’s life, this is very troubling. It should not be this easy to obtain classified details about the Vice President and his family’s whereabouts and plans! Secret Service needs to do much better with vetting people and upholding standards. This is a good place to start: Every single Biden hire needs to be purged from the federal government. And until we’re ready to do that, nothing will really change. — The Conservative Alternative (@OldeWorldOrder) January 13, 2026 Your thoughts?
