The United States Secret Service has reportedly launched a probe into one of its own agents who allegedly tried to sneak his wife onto a plane accompanying President Donald Trump’s trip to Scotland this week.
Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics posted on X: “The Secret Service has launched an investigation into an incident over the weekend in which an agent tried to smuggle his wife onto a USSS carplane accompanying President Trump’s visit to Scotland.”
“The agent in question is a Phase 1 agent (new trainee in first years on the job) who was written up multiple times for misconduct at the Rowley Training Center where agents go through their preliminary training to become agents and can wash out if held to proper standards, according to two sources in the Secret Service community.”
Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the agency, provided a statement, indicating: “The U.S. Secret Service is conducting a personnel investigation after an employee attempted to invite his spouse – a member of the United States Air Force – aboard a mission support flight.
“The aircraft, operated by the U.S. Air Force, was being used by the Secret Service to transport personnel and equipment. Prior to the overseas departure, the employee was advised by supervisors that such action was prohibited, and the spouse was subsequently prevented from taking the flight.
“No Secret Service protectees were aboard and there was no impact to our overseas protective operations.”

Crabtree notes the statement by Guglielmi “leaves several basic questions unanswered as to why this agent thought it would be okay to take his wife, an Air Force employee, on the C-17 carplane to Scotland.”
“When I asked whether anyone in a position of authority signed off on it or gave the impression it would be okay, Guglielmi told me the investigation would determine that.”
Crabtree originally reported: “The agent flew his wife to Maryland, then she even received the official Secret Service country brief at the hotel and rode the bus to the distinguished visitor lounge at Joint Base Andrews before she was discovered and told to leave.”
Some reaction online includes:
“DEFINITELY, the agent & his wife have to be seriously investigated. With the bounty put on Pres Trump’s head by Iran we have to go to the old cliche ‘EVERYONE HAS A PRICE.’ Personally Pres Trump’s Secret Service detail cannot take things like this lightly. Remember Butler!!”
“I’m sure I’ll get a lot of hate for this, but we have bigger fish to fry in the Secret Service than this agent inviting his active-duty wife. Is it unbecoming? Absolutely. But I’m more interested in learning more about the kid in Pennsylvania than this incident.”
