Ross loses security detail in the Hamptons: report

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross reportedly lost his security detail during a trip to Southampton, N.Y., resulting in his detail handing out business cards at a local restaurant in its search for the Cabinet member.

“His security people lost him in the Hamptons,” a source told New York Post’s Page Six.

“They said they had lost him and asked anyone who spotted him to call them. They gave out cards that said ‘Commerce Department security’ — and told the owner, ‘If you see him, will you call us immediately?’ ”

A second source told the newspaper that Ross had not dodged his detail last Friday, but arrived late at the meeting point.

A spokesperson for the Department of Commerce said Ross’s detail found the secretary in minutes.

“Five minutes later, they realized where he was. Mystery solved,” the spokesperson told Page Six.
