Two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Trump’s grandson are under investigation for taking selfies with the 8-year-old boy while he was sleeping, according to a new report.
The agents are being investigated for abandoning their post while charged with protecting Donald Trump III, son of Donald Trump Jr., Mother Jones reported Thursday.
According to the report, the incident happened when the agents were driving Trump III from Westchester, N.Y., to Manhattan. The boy was sleeping in the car and the agents took selfies with him as he slept in the vehicle.
The boy woke up while the selfies were taking place and shared the experience with his mother. Top managers at the Secret Service were notified and the two agents were summoned to D.C. to face an investigation.
“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of a matter involving two of our agents and one of our protectees,” the agency said in a statement. “Our Office of Professional Responsibility will always thoroughly review a matter to determine the facts and to ensure proper, long-standing protocols and procedures are followed. The Secret Service would caution individuals to not jump to conclusions that may grossly mischaracterize the matter.”
