JD Vance Orders River Level Raised for Family Boat Trip, Drawing Criticism
During Vice President J.D. Vance’s family vacation on the Little Miami River, his security detail requested the Army Corps of Engineers increase the water level. This request was made to ensure the safe navigation of the Secret Service. Although the Secret Service said the adjustment met the operational criteria, an anonymous source alleged the request was to create ideal kayaking conditions for Vance. Former White House officials, along with The Guardian, noted that it is very rare to alter water levels for an individual.
