Secret Service Agent Investigated for Assault on Harris Staffer

The U.S. Secret Service confirmed Wednesday it's holding an investigation after reports emerged that an agent sexually assaulted a female member of Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign team. The incident occurred last week during preparation for a Wisconsin campaign event when an agent allegedly forced himself on a female staffer and groped her in front of witnesses.

When asked to address the report, Secret Service communications chief Anthony Guglielmi confirmed the agency "is investigating a misconduct allegation involving an employee."

"The Secret Service holds its personnel to the highest standards," he continued. "The employee has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation."

The alleged event took place in the staffer's hotel room, where she returned with the agent and other campaign staff after the group drank and dined at a local restaurant. One source told Real Clear Politics that the accused agent was so drunk that his coworkers had kicked him out of his hotel room and he passed out in the hallway.

I have no idea what the Secret Service has become and when it transformed, but this stuff is crazy.

If Harris becomes President, I certainly hope she appoints someone to overhaul the Service and return it to what it's always been before.

It's been a hot mess for years now. I remember scandalous stuff during the Obama years.

Hell, Trump just had to cancel a rally in Wisconsin because SS lacked sufficient assets.
