Biden skinny-dipped in front of female Secret Service agents ‘often’ as Obama VP: report

October 8, 2023 | | Print Article

Tensions between the first family and their Secret Service detail have reportedly reached a boiling point, but that’s no surprise to investigative journalist Ron Kessler.

Nearly a decade ago, the former Wall Street Journal reporter revealed in his book, “The First Family Detail,” that then-Vice President Joe Biden would often skinny-dip, making his Secret Service agents uncomfortable in the process.

“Agents say that, whether at the vice president’s residence or at his home in Delaware, Biden has a habit of swimming in his pool nude. Female Secret Service agents find that offensive,” Kessler wrote, as reported at the time by U.S. News.

“Biden likes to be revered as everyday Joe. But the reality is no agents want to go on his detail because Biden makes agents’ lives so tough,” an unnamed Secret Service agent allegedly told Kessler for the book.

Between the then-VP’s “lack of consideration as evidenced by” his skinny-dipping, “being assigned to his detail is considered the second worst assignment in the Secret Service,” Kessler added.

Nearly a decade later, the relationship between the president, his family, and their agents remains strained, now more so because of their biting dogs than anything else.

“Biden’s new two-year-old dog Commander has bitten at least a dozen agents plus people who work in the White House residence, requiring some to get medical attention. And the first couple’s former dog Major was so aggressive and prone to biting that he was rehomed to friends in Delaware,” the Daily Mail notes.

Speaking with the outlet, Kessler expressed outrage on behalf of the affected Secret Service agents.

“It’s outrageous, just outrageous for those agents who risk their lives every day to protect the president. They never know when they’re gonna get shot and they have to put up with the fear of being bitten by a dog. It’s just unthinkable that it went on this long,” he said.

Biden’s Secret Service agents reportedly feel similarly.

The dogs’ behavior “laid the foundation for a ‘combustible’ relationship with Secret Service, which has since been exacerbated by numerous ‘last minute changes’ to schedules – including spending most weekends away from the White House at Camp David or one of their Delaware residences – and ‘unrealistic requests’ that strain the agency’s resources,” CNN reported Thursday, citing an unnamed source.

The complaint about “last minute changes” was also heard during Biden’s VP days, according to Kessler.

“He would never give agents any kind of pre-warning of what his schedule was going to be. He would just, on the spur of the moment, decide to go back to Wilmington, frequently, more than once a week. And so they could never plan their their lives. They could never set up a social occasion,” he explained to the Daily Mail.

Making matters worse, Biden and his family reportedly were and still remain suspicious of their Secret Service agents. Speaking with the Daily Mail, Christopher Whipple, another Biden book writer, stressed the importance of trust between politicians and their Secret Service details, though he also expressed sympathy for Biden.

“It seems to me that it [trust] is critical, for the most obvious reasons that the President’s safety depends upon it. But I think I think he also has a right to assume that the Secret Service check their politics at the door and that he can have confidential conversations without worrying about whether there’s a MAGA sympathizer that will report that to someone else,” he said.

Dovetailing back to the dog issue, the first family has defended the biting mutts. Elizabeth Alexander, the first lady’s communications director, said in September that “the White House can be a stressful environment for family pets” and that the first family were continuing to “work on ways to help Commander handle the often unpredictable nature of the White House grounds.”

But speaking with Axios last week, a former Biden White House official who reportedly had encounters with Commander and Major cried foul.

“The first family and their inner circle refuse to engage in any problem-solving discussions to protect the agents and [Executive Residence] staff. The ongoing discipline issue of the Biden dogs is in no way a Secret Service problem. The agency is just trying to protect their own agents from these animals who do have violent behaviors,” they said.

Yet the administration continues to spout BS, claiming “everyone loves” Commander. In fact, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre even claimed last week that she’s never felt threatened by him.

“I’ve seen Commander many times. I was never worried. And I’ve never been bitten by Commander. As it relates to me, I was never wary of Commander. I’ve seen him many, many times. And so I can only speak for myself though, and I can’t speak to anything else outside of that,” she said.
