A new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig, called Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service, alleges that both Trump’s daughter Tiffany, 27, and former daughter-in-law Vanessa, 43, were involved in inappropriate relationships with secret service agents.
It is even claimed that Vanessa Trump “started dating one of the agents who had been assigned to her family.”
Vanessa Trump had been married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018. Their marriage had reportedly been on the rocks even before the start of Donald Trump’s presidency in 2016, and by the time they filed for divorce in March 2018, the couple had been described as “living separate lives.”
If Leonnig’s claims of Vanessa Trump’s relationship with a secret service agent are true, it is unclear as to whether the alleged relationship began before or after her divorce. The writer said that the agent did not face any professional repercussions from his relationship with Vanessa Trump as she was no longer meant to be protected by the secret service.
On the other hand, Tiffany Trump has already responded to Leonnig’s allegations against her.
“This is nothing more than gossip and is simply not true,” a spokeswoman told The Washington Post on Tiffany Trump’s behalf. “Tiffany’s experience with the Secret Service was entirely professional.”
According to Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service, Tiffany Trump sparked a relationship with a secret service agent following a breakup. Leonnig even wrote that officials “became concerned at how close Tiffany appeared to be getting to the tall, dark and handsome agent.”
Tiffany Trump is currently engaged to Michael Boulos, whom she began dating in 2018. It is not clear when the alleged relationship between Tiffany and the Secret Service agent began, if it happened at all.
“It has been an honor to celebrate many milestones, historic occasions and create memories with my family here at the White House, none more special than my engagement to my amazing fiancé Michael! Feeling blessed and excited for the next chapter,” Tiffany Trump wrote in her engagement announcement earlier this year, the day before her father’s presidential term ended.
Leonnig’s book, Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service, just launched to the public after advanced copies had been circulating around the press for a couple of weeks.
The book is described in its synopsis as, “The first definitive account of the rise and fall of the Secret Service, from the Kennedy assassination to the alarming mismanagement of the Obama and Trump years, right up to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6.”
