Secret Service Agent Busted Sneaking Wife onto Trump’s Flight to Scotland
A U.S. Secret Service agent is under internal investigation after reportedly trying to bring his wife aboard a support aircraft accompanying President Donald Trump’s Air Force One to Scotland last week.
The incident involved a Dallas-based agent whose wife — a member of the U.S. Air Force — traveled to Maryland and received a briefing before being bused to Joint Base Andrews.
She was reportedly discovered before boarding and was told to leave.
President Trump confirmed he was briefed on the matter.
“Wouldn’t you think it might be a little dangerous?” Trump said to reporters. “That’s a weird deal.”
Trump said he expected Secret Service Director Sean M. Curran to “take care of it.”
Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi issued a statement following the internal review.
“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,” Guglielmi said.
“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 operation.”
Multiple aircraft typically accompany Air Force One on international trips.
However, the latest controversy comes as the agency continues to face scrutiny over recent security failures.
Federal and congressional probes slammed the Secret Service for lapses during two separate assassination attempts targeting President Trump during the 2024 campaign season.
Last year, 18-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump in the right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A Senate investigation later revealed multiple missed warnings and a lack of drone defense systems.
Just months later, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, entered Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course and took up position in a sniper’s nest.
He was later spotted by Secret Service agents before opening fire, prompting agents to return fire.
Routh was not hit and was arrested later that day. He is awaiting trial for attempted assassination.
Kimberly Cheatle, director of the Secret Service during both incidents, resigned following widespread criticism and a contentious hearing before the House Oversight Committee.
Ron Rowe briefly served as acting director before being replaced by Sean Curran, a former agent from Trump’s personal security detail.
Curran was among those who responded during the Butler attack and helped escort President Trump to safety.
