(TalkingPointsMemo) A small startup news site run by a former communications director for Mitt Romney in Iowa reported on Thursday that a Secret Service agent, near the end of the 2012 presidential cycle, divulged details of the president's schedule to a Romney staffer.
The report, from the website Inside Sources, cites two Romney staffers "who witnessed the events in question." The sources told Inside Sources that the married-Secret Service agent, who was not identified, was motivated by his flirtation with the female staffer to disclose the information and on a separate occasion gave joy rides in Secret Service cars with lights flashing. This all happened in a key battleground state in October 2012, according to the report.
