Political and Legislative
Secret Service Official At Center of Congressional Jan 6. Testimony Retires from Position
A top Secret Service official who served in a political position in the Trump White House left the agency Monday for a job in the private sector.
Tony Ornato, who was an assistant director at the Secret Service, said his departure was planned more than a year ago, before explosive congressional testimony this summer about former President Donald Trump’s actions on Jan. 6.
“I did retire today to pursue a career in the private sector,” Ornato told NBC News. “I retired from the U.S. Secret Service after more than 25 years of faithful service to my country, including serving the past five presidents. I long-planned to retire and have been planning this transition for more than a year.”
