A startling video showed the moment when two female Secret Service agents got into an altercation outside the $8 million mansion of former President Barack Obama in Washington DC.
The altercation unfolded May 21 at around 2:30am as the former president’s security detail grappled next to a police vehicle.
According to audio shared by RealClearPolitics journalist Susan Crabtree, one of the agents reportedly called for a supervisor whilst threatening to engage in a fight with her fellow agent.
‘Can I get a supervisor down to Delta two immediately before I whoop this girl’s ass,’ the agent in the audio said.
As reported to DailyMail.com by a Secret Service spokesperson, the incident occurred while the agents were on duty. It remains uncertain whether the Obamas were present at the residence during the altercation.
‘The individuals involved were suspended from duty and this matter is the subject of an internal investigation,’ the statement read.
‘The Secret Service has a very strict code of conduct for all employees and any behavior that violates that code is unacceptable. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further.’
It comes a year after a Secret Service agent assigned to then-Vice-President Kamala Harris was removed from duty after she got into a physical fight with her fellow agents.
The Secret Service has come under scrutiny in recent years amid allegations of unprofessionalism and security lapses.
These allegations came under the spotlight after the near-assassination of President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last July, which ultimately led the agency’s director Kimberly Cheatle to resign.
Cheatle was replaced by Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded Trump after he was shot in the ear on stage at the rally.
The altercation in Harris’ security detail last April also brought humiliation to the agency, as reports said a female agent identified as Michelle Herczeg flew into a frenzy at her fellow agents.
According to Secret Service sources, Herczeg arrived for duty acting erratically, grabbing a fellow agent’s personal phone and started deleting applications from it.
She also was mumbling to herself, hiding behind curtains and throwing items at fellow agents including menstrual pads, according to a report at the time from RealClearPolitics.
Herczeg told her fellow agents they would ‘burn in hell and needed to listen to God.’
Sources at the time said the special agent in charge and a detail shift supervisor tried to calm Herczeg after she began exhibiting aggressive behavior, but she tackled the Senior Agent in Charge of security detail and began punching him.
Although Herczeg was armed, her weapon remained in the holster until the she was disarmed by her colleagues. She was handcuffed and removed from the terminal.
The Secret Service was overhauled under Trump as his own agent Curran was installed as the new chief soon after the Butler shooting.
In recent weeks, another incident involving the Secret Service went viral as footage showed a mysterious man creeping close to Trump’s daughter Ivanka.
The moment came on May 3 when the First Daughter and her husband Jared Kushner were having dinner at Carbone Beach in South Beach, Florida.
Footage showed an unidentified man holding a Manila envelope, and wearing khaki shorts and a black t-shirt trying to walk alongside them.
At that point, an agent in a blue button down shirt and black jeans could be seen gently shoving the man out of the way.
When the man then put his hand on the agent, the guard responds by forcefully pushing the bystander out of the way with both hands.
The scene sent bystanders screaming in shock – prompting Ivanka to turn around to see what the commotion was.
But within seconds, the guard could be seen rushing her and Jared into an awaiting SUV.
Amid the footage going viral online, the Secret Service told DailyMail.com: ‘During a protective movement on Saturday, May 4, 2025, an adult male encroached, coming too close to Secret Service personnel.
‘A special agent immediately intervened, physically redirecting the individual to reestablish a safe perimeter. The public is reminded that during protective operations, maintaining a safe distance from law enforcement and protective personnel is essential.
‘Adequate space ensures agents can respond swiftly to unexpected actions and helps safeguard everyone in the vicinity.’
