under investigation for allegations that they may have violated U.S. security procedures during the president\u2019s trip to Vietnam, the Pentagon confirmed late Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service members were assigned to provide communications and other support to the president during his 12-day trip through Asia, which included a stop in Vietnam, Pentagon spokesman Mark Wright said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The allegations, first reported by <a
