The U.S. Secret Service has suspended two agents after a video was published showing the two Secret Service agents fighting in front of former President Barack Obama’s mansion in Washington, D.C., last week.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Real Clear Politics reporter Susan Crabtree cited two sources in the Secret Service community who claimed that two female Secret Service Uniformed Division agents engaged in a “physical fight” while guarding the outside of Obama’s residence in Washington, D.C., at roughly 2:30 a.m. last Wednesday.
“The lack of professionalism was on display during the fight and in a call one of the women made on a recorded Secret Service line to request a supervisor to come to the scene ‘immediately before I whoop this girl’s a-s,'” Crabtree wrote.
Crabtree shared a video of the incident that shows the two female Secret Service agents punching and shoving each other. In an audio recording from the incident, one of the agents can be heard saying, “Can I get a supervisor down to Delta Two immediately before I whoop this girl’s a-s?”
In a statement to Fox News, the Secret Service confirmed the fight between the two agents at the former president’s mansion in Washington, D.C.
“The individuals involved were suspended from duty and this matter is the subject of an internal investigation. The Secret Service has a very strict code of conduct for all employees and any behavior that violates that code is unacceptable,” a Secret Service spokesperson said. “Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further.”

While the Secret Service did not confirm the cause of the fight between the two suspended Secret Service agents, Crabtree claimed that the agent who was heard contacting a supervisor was “upset that her shift replacement was late and assailed her verbally and physically when she finally did arrive to relieve her.”
Crabtree reported that it was not clear whether either of the female Secret Service agents were injured in last week’s brawl. The Real Clear Politics reporter also cited anonymous sources in the Secret Service community who confirmed that no one was disturbed at the Obama residence or in the surrounding D.C. neighborhood during last week’s incident.
Crabtree added, “The incident is raising new concerns among fellow Secret Service agents and officers about the agency’s lowering of hiring standards during years of a major DEI push to add more minorities and women to the ranks under previous Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.”
