JD Vance Shooting

In a statement, the Secret Service said the agent, identified as Tomas Escotto, had his security clearance suspended and his access to agency resources revoked pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

The US Secret Service agent assigned to protect Vice President JD Vance who was in an undercover video released by O’Keefe Media Group disclosing sensitive details about his job has been put on leave.

In a statement, the Secret Service said the agent, identified as Tomas Escotto, had his security clearance suspended and his access to agency resources revoked pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

An undercover video from an ACTUAL muckraker (and we mean that in the best sense), James O’Keefe, is exposing a secret service agent who is more than willing to put Vice President JD Vance’s life at risk. The agent shared the Vice President’s future traveling and event plans in an undercover video by The O’Keefe Media Group. The agent is Tomas Escotto, a five-year veteran of the force who came in under the President Joe Biden Committee.

Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn responded to the video by stating, “The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation, and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked,”

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released a bombshell report detailing how a member of Vice President JD Vance’s protection detail shared sensitive information on Vance’s security with an undercover reporter.

The agent in question is Tomas Escotto, a five-year Secret Service veteran assigned to Vice President Vance’s protective detail. Escotto is described as a holdover from the Biden administration who had voted for the former president in the past.

His role involved direct responsibilities in Vance’s security, including participation in shift rotations, advance planning for movements, and on-site protection during travel. As part of Vance’s detail, Escotto had access to operational details critical to ensuring the safety of the Vice President and his family.

The man arrested for vandalizing the Cincinnati home of pro-life Vice President J.D. Vance identifies as transgender and goes by the name “Julia DeFoor,” while his father is a surgeon who has donated to Democrats, according to reports.

William DeFoor, 26, was charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass and vandalism after allegedly smashing several windows at Vance’s home and vandalizing a U.S. Secret Service vehicle in the driveway early Monday.

DeFoor identifies as transgender, with an Instagram profile under “Julia DeFoor” using “she/her” pronouns and a Facebook account liking pages including “Heartland Trans Wellness.”

Authorities have released the mugshot of 26-year-old William DeFoor following his arrest for allegedly attempting to break into Vice President JD Vance’s Cincinnati home with a hammer.

Looking at the image, it’s hard to believe this guy is an adult.

The booking photo, posted by the Hamilton County Justice Center, also lists the charges DeFoor is facing, including vandalism, criminal trespass, criminal damaging or endangering, and obstructing official business.

The attack, reported on by RedState’s Nick Arama, unfolded early Monday at Vance’s Ohio home, where DeFoor reportedly used a hammer to smash multiple windows in what authorities described as an attempted break-in.

The 26-year-old man who allegedly attacked the Cincinnati home of Vice President JD Vance early Monday morning appears to be yet another radical transvestite.

Just hours after the vice president concluded his visit to the city and departed for the national capital, a suspect armed with a hammer was spotted by U.S. Secret Service agents running along the front fence, then breaching the perimeter of Vance’s Ohio house.

‘As far as I can tell, a crazy person tried to break in.’

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Cincinnati indicated in a release that the suspect, William DeFoor, was ordered to stop and drop the hammer after he allegedly attempted to break the window of a USSS vehicle blocking the driveway entrance. DeFoor allegedly refused to comply and proceeded to smash the front windows of Vance’s house — windows apparently equipped with “enhanced security assets.”

Good thing Vice President JD Vance and his family were not home during this incident.

A man in Ohio was arrested after allegedly breaking the windows at Vice President JD Vance’s residence.

A Secret Service spokesperson shared that the incident occurred in the early hours of Monday.

WLWT reported more on the crime:

A man has been taken into custody by Cincinnati police after officers and Secret Service agents responded to the Cincinnati home of Vice President JD Vance overnight.

The Secret Service confirmed to WLWT that a man has been taken into custody by Cincinnati police after he was detained by Secret Service personnel. Officials say the man has been arrested for “causing property damage, including breaking windows on the exterior of a personal residence associated with the Vice President.”

The agency says it happened shortly after midnight early Monday morning. Secret Service is coordinating with CPD and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

According to an arrest report obtained by WLWT, William DeFoor, 26, has been arrested in connection to the damage done at the home.
