JD Vance's spokesperson stated he and his staff were unaware that the Secret Service had asked military engineers to raise the water level of the Little Miami River for a family boating trip. The US Army Corps of Engineers confirmed the request, stating it was to ensure safe navigation for Vance's security detail. The Secret Service later reiterated that their office made the decision operationally and without the vice-president's involvement.
