The residence of United States Vice-President JD Vance was targeted with broken windows in an attack. Secret service agents quickly responded to the incident at his Cincinnati home early Monday, leading to the apprehension of a suspect. While Vance’s whereabouts during the attack remain unclear, he was known to have been in Florida last Friday meeting with former President Donald Trump.
During his visit to Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Vance discussed plans regarding potential actions in Venezuela and the operation to oust Nicolas Maduro. Despite being involved in the planning process, Vance opted not to join Trump and other officials at Mar-a-Lago to avoid compromising the operation’s secrecy.
Following the operation, Vance returned to Cincinnati after monitoring developments through a secure video conference. His office emphasized the Vice President’s active participation in the planning process but highlighted security concerns, prompting limitations on Vance and the President being away from the White House simultaneously.
Law enforcement and secret service personnel were observed at Vance’s property after the incident, where several windows were found broken. Fortunately, Vance and his family were not present during the attack. Authorities confirmed the detention of a suspect but refrained from disclosing any charges filed.
Security measures around Vance’s East Walnut Hills residence were intensified around New Year’s Day, with road closures and designated checkpoints in place for several days. Local residents navigating the closures were advised to use specific detour routes and anticipate delays due to the increased security measures.
