BREAKING: O’Keefe Media Group: Secret Service Agent Assigned to Vance Leaks Sensitive Information to Undercover Reporter (VIDEO)

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released video of a Secret Service agent assigned to JD Vance leaking sensitive information to an undercover reporter.

The agent at the center of O’Keefe’s latest sting, Tomas Escotto, is a Biden holdover and has only been a US citizen since 2018.

Escotto told the O’Keefe Media Group undercover reporter details about how Vance is surrounded and revealed advanced security procedures.

The Secret Service agent also revealed Vance’s future travel plans and sent images from Air Force Two while he was traveling with Vance.

Tomas Escotto said he voted for Joe Biden and opposes the Trump Administration’s ICE operations.

According to James O’Keefe, Escotto was placed on administrative leave and his security clearance was suspended.

Per O’Keefe Media Group:

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.

Why do they have any Biden holdovers? They would be better off finding plumbers in Peoria and saying, “Would you like to be a federal employee? We have a couple hundred thousand openings.”

<< Escotto was placed on administrative leave and his security clearance was suspended. >>

The punishment should be far more severe than that.

He doesn’t look like the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I wonder if they’re screened for intelligence...

All the chain of command should be fired ASAP. Then severely punished. It’s a matter of life or death.

Why would ANYONE even associated or within 1000 feet of Joe Biden still allowed to be around JD Vance, that itself is a HUGE red flag

The SS agents who allowed the Trump shooting only received 10 day suspensions...about the same as a junior high boy who flips a girl's bra strap.

Trump's timidity towards evil, his negligence of justice, and his toleration of Jezebel will be his undoing.

Lock her up...lock her up...because you'd be in jail"...MORAL IMPOTENCE!!

This is insane.

Only natural-born citizens, of citizen parents, should be allowed to serve on any presidential security detail - ever.

And anyone with even a hint of a foreign accent should be immediately rejected.

...is a Biden holdover and has only been a US citizen since 2018.

We knew the Secret Service was scraping the bottom of the barrel when they got former Pepsi/Frito-Lay security to be the head of the Secret Service, but I guess there were no Indian truck drivers who wanted to be a field agent.

“Escotto was placed on administrative leave and his security clearance was suspended.”
***********************************

Why wasn’t he immediately arrested? Only been a citizen since 2018 and he’s on the Secret Service? Our entire country is turning into a clown show.

O’Keefe’s highly effective method once again is “honey trap.” The young-sounding female voice in the video tells the SS agent that his badge photo is “so cute.” From the looks of the guy, I’m guessing that he is unaccustomed to regularly receiving female flattery of this sort.

This is on Curran, who Trump chose to head the SS. The same Curran who was in charge in Butler. The same Butler where Trump was shot and the SS was more messed up than the Keystone Cops, pre-talkies.
