According to a new book about the administration, President Joe Biden has trust issues with some of the Secret Service agents around him and refuses to believe certain details of the report of the biting incident with his dog Major.
According to Chris Whipple’s book “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House,” Biden has trust issues with some agents, in part because some agents are staunch supporters of former President Trump.
Whipple writes that President Biden simply did not trust the agents, and that his attitude contrasts sharply with how he felt during his years as vice president, when he’d grown very close to the agents on his detail.
“A bigger problem was Biden’s discomfort with his Secret Service detail; some of them were MAGA sympathizers. He didn’t trust them,” writes Whipple.
The president shouldn’t have been surprised by the presence of “Maga sympathizers” among his bodyguards, Whipple continued, because the Secret Service is apparently filled with “white ex-cops from the South who tend to be deeply conservative.” He also said that the change in Mr. Biden’s viewpoint is a result of the larger detail assigned to the chief executive.
“Surrounded by a new phalanx of strangers, Biden couldn’t help but wonder, Do these people really want me here?” Whipple wrote.
In light of the revelations made by the House panel that looked into the uprising and the news that the Secret Service had deleted the majority of messages from January 6, Biden believed that the “Secret Service had looked both incompetent and politicized.”
There are also issues surrounding the alleged biting of a Secret Service agent by Major, the president’s German shepherd rescue dog, in March 2021. According to reports, the president had doubts about the Secret Service’s assessment of the circumstances.
Major was the first rescue dog to serve as First Canine, and Mr. Biden adopted him from the Delaware Humane Association in 2018. He was temporarily transferred to Delaware for training after allegedly biting a Secret Service agent on March 8, 2021, in the White House’s private residence area. though allegedly, at the end of that month, shortly after returning to the White House, he bit a National Park Service employee.
