“Exactly whose numbers were provided, to whom and for what purpose have yet to be determined however, the information will likely be used for a criminal investigation into the USSS employee,” read a letter from FLEOA to all of its members who work at the Secret Service, per CNN. Several government entities, including the Jan. 6 committee, the House Oversight Committee, the National Archives and Records Administration, as well as the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, have sought information from the Secret Service in recent weeks.
