A physical altercation between a pair of uniformed Secret Service agents guarding former President Barack Obama’s DC residence earlier this week necessitated a call to a supervisor, according to a reportSusan Crabtree, RealClearPolitics’ national correspondent, posted the “scoop” on the X platform, which contained alarming details as the administration seeks to rebuild the agency and its trust with the American public following a near-assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life last summer.
“Two female Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside former President Obama’s D.C. residence while guarding it. The fracas occurred at roughly 2:30 a.m. early Wednesday morning, according to two sources in the Secret Service community,” Crabtree’s post began.
“The lack of professionalism was on display during the fight and in a call one of the women made on a recorded Secret Service line to request a supervisor to come to the scene ‘immediately before I whoop this girl’s ass,’” she continued in a post that contained an alleged audio recording of the callThe woman officer who made the call was upset that her shift replacement was late and assailed her verbally and physically when she finally did arrive to relieve her. Audio of the early a.m. call is now circulating among agents and officers and is attached to this X post,” Crabtree continued.
“It’s unclear whether either woman was injured or whether they will be disciplined over the altercation. The fight did not wake anyone in the Obama residence or the surrounding neighborhood, the sources said,” she addedThe incident is raising new concerns among fellow Secret Service agents and officers about the agency’s lowering of hiring standards during years of a major DEI push to add more minorities and women to the ranks under previous Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle,” Crabtree continued.
