"The agent, identified as Tomas Escotto, believed he was on a date with woman while he was blabbing about Vance; the woman turned out to be a reporter for O'Keefe Media Group. Escotto talked about how the vice president is protected and the security measures agents take. He also told the woman he voted for ex-President Joe Biden and I hate that sh*t when talking about President Donald Trump's ICE raids."
"The agent later texted the woman on Dec. 26 about Vance's travel plans for the next week, revealing he would be in Ohio and Florida for a handful of days. He also sent the reporter pictures of him aboard Air Force 2 and also pictures that provided metadata on where the president's convoy was located. He knew he was not allowed to share much of the information he was talking about."
