Secret Service Agent Abandons Post at Trump Event for INSANE Reason

The Secret Service is investigating after multiple sources claimed they witnessed a female agent abandon her post with no permission.

The lapse in security was first reported by RealClearPolitics correspondent Susan Crabtree, who posted the information to X.

“During a Donald Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community,” she wrote.

“[Just minutes before Trump’s arrival] the site agent went to do one final sweep of the walking route and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president.”

It is against Secret Service policy for a working agent on duty to bring a child to an assignment. The woman was allegedly in the room with two other family members who may have brought the infant to her to feed.

The female agent reportedly works out of the Atlanta Field Office.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi acknowledged that the incident is under review and noted that it did not ultimately have an impact on the event.

“All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards,” he said. “While there was no impact to the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further.”

This latest incident comes as both current and former Secret Service employees have criticized the agency for issues with understaffing even though its funding has repeatedly increased.

Along those lines, reports after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump indicated that he had been denied multiple requests for additional security.

Following that attempt on the former president’s life, then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who was appointed by President Biden in 2022, was forced to resign.
