Secret Service officials have arranged a bipartisan briefing for Congress to discuss concerns regarding training and recruitment matters following an incident involving an agent from Vice President Harris’ protective detail who assaulted their supervisor.

According to undisclosed sources cited by The New York Post, the agent involved in the April incident at Joint Base Andrews in Prince George’s County, Md., engaged in a physical altercation with multiple individuals before being taken off the vice president’s detail. The incident reportedly occurred at approximately 9 a.m. local time prior to Harris’ arrival. The Secret Service promptly “reassigned” the agent from their current duties, as confirmed by their statement to The Post.

“A US Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing,” Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the U.S. Secret Service, told the outlet. “The US Secret Service takes the safety and health of our employees very seriously.”

Subsequent findings indicated that the agent in question had physically assaulted her supervisor. After the confrontation, accusations emerged that the agent involved in the altercation had been recruited through the federal agency’s progressive “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) initiatives. The briefing is scheduled for June 21, following a correspondence from House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.

“It was recently reported that a Secret Service agent, tasked with protecting Vice President Kamala Harris, physically attacked her superior (and the commanding agent in charge) and other agents trying to subdue her while on duty at Joint Base Andrews and assigned to the Vice President’s protective detail,” Comer wrote to Cheatle.

“In response to the letter received from Chairman James Comer, the U.S. Secret Service will comply with the House Oversight Committee’s request for a briefing on the topics outlined in the publicly available letter dated May 30, 2024,” a Secret Service spokesperson told Fox News.

A petition has been circulated by Secret Service personnel within the agency, as reported by a Bloomberg journalist, urging a congressional investigation into various incidents. Concerns have been raised by the agents regarding insufficient training and alleged inconsistencies in disciplinary measures, as stated by Fox.

“This incident raised concerns within the agency about the hiring and screening process for this agent: specifically, whether previous incidents in her work history were overlooked during the hiring process as years of staff shortages had led the agency to lower once stricter standards as part of a diversity, equity, and inclusion effort,” Comer’s letter to Cheatle continues.
