Two female Secret Service agents were captured on camera brawling outside former President Barack Obama’s DC Mansion in the early hours of May 21.
Footage obtained by RealClearPolitics’ Susan Crabtree showed the two agents fighting next to a law enforcement vehicle. The incident occurred at around 2:30 am on Wednesday morning, two sources in the Secret Service community told Crabtree.
One woman was heard in audio from a recorded Secret Service line saying, "Can I get a supervisor down to Delta 2 immediately before I whoop this girl’s a**."
A Secret Service spokesperson told the Daily Mail that the fight occurred while the agents were on duty. It is unclear if the Obamas were at the $8 million residence at the time of the fight. "The individuals involved were suspended from duty and this matter is the subject of an internal investigation," the spokesperson said.
"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."
Crabtree reported that the agent 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."
In April 2024, a Secret Service agent was involved in a fight with colleagues at Joint Base Andrews just outside of Washington, DC. Secret Service sources said that a female agent, Michelle Herczeg, was acting erratically when arriving for duty, reached for a fellow agent’s phone and began deleting applications from it.
She reportedly mumbled to herself, hid behind curtains, and threw items at agents. She also reportedly told her fellow agents that they would "burn in hell and needed to listen to God." She tackled the Senior Agent in charge of the security detail, began punching him, and was handcuffed and removed from the terminal.
