Rubio’s Security Detail Supervisor Arrested in Brussels After Bar Fight
A Diplomatic Security Service supervisor assigned to Secretary Rubio’s detail was arrested in Brussels after a dispute with hotel staff escalated into a physical altercation with police. The incident followed a period of reported high stress and overwork within the detail, prompting concerns about potential vulnerabilities in protective operations. Sources attribute the supervisor’s behavior to an unsustainable workload and inadequate support. The State Department is investigating, but the event underscores broader worries about the Diplomatic Security Service’s capacity and leadership.
