  "account": "Three U.S. Secret Service officials were placed on administrative leave on Tuesday, according to the agency’s professional standards office. The investigation is being conducted by the agency’s professional standards office to determine if misconduct occurred. The officials were operating in non-law-enforcement capacities at the time of the investigation. The reason for the action has not been specified, as the Office of Professional Responsibility is currently beginning its review. This incident comes amid heightened scrutiny of the Secret Service, as President Donald Trump has been the target of at least three assassination plots within the past two years. In April, a man armed with a weapon breached Secret Service security at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner where Trump was present.",
