Two Secret Service agents assigned to guard former President Obama’s Washington, D.C., residence got into a physical fight early Wednesday morning, according to sources.
One agent called a supervisor over a recorded line, angrily demanding help before the altercation escalated. The fight reportedly stemmed from a late shift replacement. No injuries or disciplinary actions have been confirmed.
The incident raises concerns about the Secret Service’s lowered hiring standards amid past diversity efforts under former Director Kimberly Cheatle. Critics say the emphasis on diversity may have affected agent qualifications and professionalism, though many women agents are praised for their skills and dedication.
