JD Vance’s travel plans have been attracting scrutiny after reports that the vice president had water levels raised ahead of a birthday boating trip with his family.
However, it now seems it was the Secret Service who asked military engineers to raise the water level of Ohio’s Little Miami River—without the VP’s knowledge.
A spokesperson for the vice president said neither Vance nor his staff had any knowledge of the request, according to The Guardian. “The Secret Service often employs protective measures without the knowledge of the vice president or his staff, as was the case last weekend,” the statement read.
