Three U.S. Secret Service personnel have been placed on administrative leave as the agency investigates alleged internal misconduct, including possible leaks of sensitive information tied to President Donald Trump’s Qatar-gifted Boeing 747-8 being adapted as a presidential aircraft. The staff included communications chief Anthony Guglielmi and two other non-law-enforcement employees.
The move, disclosed on Wednesday, remains an administrative action rather than a firing or criminal charge. A Secret Service spokesperson confirmed that three non-law-enforcement personnel were on leave pending an investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility. Reporting on the case links the inquiry to the handling of internal information and to leaked discussions about security concerns surrounding the aircraft, which has become a focus of presidential aviation security planning.
The broader aircraft issue has attracted scrutiny because it involves operational secrecy and the protection arrangements for a modified Boeing 747-8 intended for presidential use. The exact allegations have not been made public, and the agency has given no detailed explanation of the alleged leaks.
