Vanessa and Tiffany Trump became “inappropriately – and perhaps dangerously – close” to Secret Service agents assigned to protect them when former president Donald Trump was still commander-in-chief, according to a new book from Washington Post reporter Carol D. Leonnig, a copy of which was obtained by The Guardian.

Vanessa, Donald Trump Jnr's ex-wife, “started dating one of the agents who had been assigned to her family,” per Leonnig's book, Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service. The agent didn't get in trouble because at the time he wasn't assigned to protect Vanessa, who filed for divorce from Trump Jnr in 2018.

The book also says that Tiffany spent “an unusual amount of time alone with a Secret Service agent on her detail” after she broke up with a boyfriend. 

Leonnig wrote that Secret Service agents “became concerned at how close Tiffany appeared to be getting to the tall, dark and handsome agent”.

To ensure that their judgment isn't affected on the job, Secret Service agents are barred from forming close personal relationships with those they're assigned to protect. The agent Tiffany reportedly developed a relationship with was ultimately reassigned.
