"The U.S. Secret Service's top priority is ensuring the safety and security of our protectees and any actions that compromise this commitment are addressed with the utmost seriousness," Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the USSS tells PEOPLE.
"On Nov. 6, 2022, a Secret Service agent involved in protective functions brought an individual who did not have authorized access into a protectee's residence without permission," Guglielmi adds.
"As soon as the Secret Service became aware of the incident, the agent involved was immediately suspended and after a full investigation, terminated," the spokesperson continues. "Although the protectees were not present at the time of the incident, these actions were an unacceptable violation of our protocols, our protectees' trust and everything we stand for."
The news comes after the USSS made plans to strengthen their squad, following the attempted attempted assassination of Donald Trump during a campaign rally in July.
