The incident, first reported by a Glasgow newspaper, involved the agent&#8217;s wife, an Air Force member, trying to board a flight used to transport Secret Service personnel and equipment. After being briefed in Maryland, she was caught at joint Air Base Andrews and asked to leave. the Secret Service stated that the action was prohibited and no protectees were on board, so the operation was not compromised. Trump described the event as &#8220;weird&#8221; and said Secret Service Director Sean M. Curran would handle it. This episode adds to the recent difficulties and scrutiny faced by the Secret Service following security failures during Trump&#8217;s past events, tho Trump publicly maintains confidence in the agency.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump confirms Secret Service agent tried to sneak wife on Scotland trip: &lsquo;Weird deal&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2184506\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> confirmed that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/secret-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Secret Service\">Secret Service<\/a> agent tried to sneak his wife on board a support plane accompanying him to his trip to Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>The story, first reported by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heraldscotland.com\/news\/25348022.security-breach-trumps-scotland-visit-sparks-probe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Herald newspaper of Glasgow<\/a>, was confirmed by Trump on Air Force One during his trip back to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3485436\/dhs-website-us-citizens-join-ice\/\">Uncle Sam-themed DHS website urges US citizens to join ICE: &#8216;AMERICA NEEDS YOU&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3485543\/trump-fall-out-jeffrey-epstein-poached-staffers-mar-a-lago-spa-virginia-giuffre\/\">Trump opens up on fall out with Jeffrey Epstein over poached staffers from Mar A Lago spa &mdash; including Virginia Giuffre<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3485343\/trump-india-tariffs-25-percent-trade-deal-deadline-looms\/\">Trump teases 25% tariffs on India as trade deal deadline looms<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Wouldn&rsquo;t you think it might be a little dangerous?&rdquo; Trump&nbsp;said of the matter.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/games-of-thrones-creator-george-r-r-martin-reveals-showrunners-declined-his-input-in-original-series-last-four-seasons-i-was-pretty-much-out-of-the-loop\/\" title=\"&quot;Games Of Thrones&quot; Creator George R.R.
