"All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards. While there was no impact to the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further," a spokesperson for the agency said.
Agent Was on Donald J. Trump's Security Detail Before Abandoning Post
The incident happened on Wednesday during a campaign event for Donald J. Trump, reports say.
The Secret Service is investigating a report that a female agent reportedly left her post in North Carolina to go breastfeed.
That agent reportedly had no permission or authorization to leave her position / security post and didn't make her superiors aware that she needed personal time.
The Secret Service Scandals Keep Happening
This latest incident comes as the agency is facing heightened scrutiny and questions in the wake of the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump, prompting more questions and concerns about the agency's culture and staffing.
The Secret Service was also caught on camera covering up a CCTV Camera at a local nail salon in North Carolina last week and pick locking the front door so that agents can use the bathroom during a Kamala Harris campaign event.
Earlier this year, an agent was reportedly removed from her post by superiors after having a meltdown while on the job.
Statement from Orange County Sheriff John Mina
Current and former USSS employees have voiced concerns about the agency being plagued by understaffing, even as its budget has increased to $3 billion.
USSS leaders are being asked tough questions not only on the failures on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, but also on their handling of their team's morale and their ability to recruit and retain talent.
Following the assassination attempt on the former president, the outpouring outrage forced ex-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who was appointed by President Biden in 2022, to resign. She was replaced by acting Director Ronald Rowe.
Reports indicated that Trump had been denied requests for added Secret Service security on multiple occasions prior to the July 13 rally.
