Who Is Anthony Guglielmi? Secret Service Comms Chief Put on Leave
A Secret Service spokesperson told Newsweek they are “committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism."
Anthony Guglielmi, the Chief of Communications for the U.S. Secret Service, has been placed on leave alongside two other employees following an internal investigation into potential misconduct. A spokesperson for the Secret Service released a statement confirming the action, stating that they are unable to comment further at this time.
The investigation is being conducted by the agency's Office of Professional Responsibility, and the details surrounding the investigation and the individuals involved remain unclear. Guglielmi, a communications expert with four and a half years of experience at the Secret Service, holds a communications background in three major U.S. police departments.
The misconduct investigation involves three individuals, and as part of the probe, they have lost their security clearances and access to their work devices. The Secret Service has faced scrutiny in recent years, with multiple assassination attempts on high-profile officials and a review of protocols following a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
