Secret Service agents have reportedly filed a petition following an incident with one of Kamala Harris’ Secret Service personnel.
WLTR recently reported that one of the Secret Service agents assigned to guard Kamala Harris got into a physical altercation with her supervisor, punched another agent, and had to be physically restrained.
The rogue agent was reportedly removed before Kamala Harris arrived at the location she was stationed at.
The agent has been removed from duty since the incident, yet the altercation has drawn the attention of concerned lawmakers and Secret Service agents alike. Susan Crabtree had the latest update:
