When a nation entrusts its protectors with the safety of its leaders, that trust must be sacred and unbreakable. The recent revelation that a U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance allegedly leaked sensitive security information to a reporter is not just a breach of protocol—it is a betrayal of duty and country.
The agent in question, now identified as Tomas Escotto, has been placed on administrative leave after an undercover video surfaced. This video, released by independent journalist James O’Keefe, appears to show the agent discussing confidential details about Vice President Vance’s protective detail. According to O’Keefe, the agent shared information about travel plans, security formations, and internal procedures—all with someone he believed to be a romantic interest.

Make no mistake: this is not a small mistake or lapse in judgment. If true, this is a glaring example of carelessness—if not outright disloyalty—at the highest levels of national security. The Secret Service exists to ensure the safety of our elected leaders. It is not a place for political bias, loose lips, or personal indulgences. It is a place for honor, discipline, and unwavering duty.
The Secret Service has responded by suspending the agent’s security clearance and revoking his access to government systems. They have also ordered all personnel to retake anti-espionage training. These are necessary steps, but they should have been standard long before now. If there are anti-American or ideologically biased individuals still embedded in our government’s security branches—especially holdovers from the failed Biden era—then we have a much larger problem.
According to O’Keefe, the agent held anti-ICE and anti-Trump views and was a holdover from the Biden administration. While these claims have not yet been independently confirmed, they are not surprising. We have long warned about the dangers of allowing political ideologues to remain in positions of power after a change in administration. Loyalty to the Constitution and to the chain of command must outweigh personal politics, especially in roles as sensitive as those within the Secret Service.

Vice President JD Vance was elected to serve the people and to support President Trump’s vision of a strong, secure, and sovereign nation. Any action that threatens his safety or undermines the trust placed in his guardians is not just an attack on him—it is an attack on the presidency, on our institutions, and on the American people.
The Secret Service has a 160-year tradition of discretion and professionalism. That tradition must be protected. We cannot allow it to be eroded by carelessness, corruption, or political sabotage. The agency’s apology to the Vance family is a good start, but it must be followed by real accountability. If criminal charges are warranted, they should be pursued. If deeper ideological rot is discovered within the agency, it must be rooted out without hesitation.
This incident is a warning. It reminds us that the enemies of order and tradition do not always come from outside our borders. Sometimes they are embedded within, wearing official badges but harboring dangerous motives. We must remain vigilant. We must demand loyalty from those who serve in high office. And we must never forget that the safety of our leaders is tied directly to the safety of our Republic.
Let this be a call to return to discipline, honor, and duty. Let this be a moment when we, as a nation, say enough is enough. No more leaks. No more games. The American people deserve a government that functions with integrity. And our leaders deserve a security detail that puts their mission above all else.
