The U.S. Secret Service is embroiled in yet another scandal, this time involving an alarming insider threat that was ignored by agency leadership—while the whistleblower who exposed it faced vicious retaliation. This bombshell report from RealClearPolitics journalist Susan Crabtree reveals a shocking breakdown in security protocols, raising serious concerns about the agency’s ability to protect President Donald Trump and other high-ranking officials.
According to the whistleblower, a Secret Service applicant who failed the terrorism section of the polygraph test was not only hired but allowed to evaluate security clearances for other agents. This is an unprecedented breach of protocol, as failing a polygraph typically disqualifies applicants—unless they exploit the agency’s shady “friends and family” loophole, which permits well-connected individuals to retake the test multiple times.
“Instead of investigating the individual for posing a potential threat to the agency and the top U.S. officials it protects, including the president and the vice president, the agent alleges he was retaliated against and forced to resign after serving more than 20 years in the Secret Service.”
The whistleblower, a senior agent with decades of service, was forced out of his job after reporting the threat. Even worse, the agency is now threatening to revoke his security clearance unless he drops his legal complaints. This is nothing short of a cover-up—one that puts national security at risk.
Where is the outrage from the left-wing media? If this had happened under Trump’s administration, CNN and The New York Times would be screaming for accountability. But because it occurred under Biden’s watch, they remain dead silent. The same outlets that breathlessly hyped every unverified Russia collusion story are now ignoring a legitimate national security threat.
The whistleblower also exposed the agency’s failure to implement mental health screenings for applicants—a basic requirement for the FBI, CIA, and most police departments. This negligence is especially alarming after two assassination attempts against President Trump in 2024—one in Butler, Pennsylvania (July 13) and another at Mar-a-Lago (September 15).
The Secret Service’s dysfunction doesn’t end there. Just last year, Kamala Harris’s agent, Michelle Herczeg, went on a violent rampage at Joint Base Andrews, attacking colleagues, throwing menstrual pads, and even deleting apps from a male agent’s phone before being restrained and disarmed.
“Herczeg then chest-bumped and shoved her superior, then tackled him and punched him. The agents involved in restraining Herczeg were especially concerned because she still had her gun in the holster. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun from her, cuffed her, and then removed her from the terminal.”
This kind of unprofessional, dangerous behavior has become all too common in the Secret Service—yet Democrats and their media allies refuse to hold the agency accountable.
While the Biden administration’s incompetence allows these security lapses to fester, President Trump has repeatedly called for stronger protections for America’s leaders. His warnings about deep state corruption and security failures are being proven right once again.

The American people deserve answers. Why is the Secret Service hiring potential security risks? Why are whistleblowers being punished instead of protected? And why is the liberal media ignoring this scandal?
Investigate Ronald Rowe, never trusted that self-righteous clown
Unbelievable!!! What a MAJOR screwup! Amazing that Trump wasn’t taken out a Butler because of such an absurd, crazy breach! The Secret Service “swamp” needs to be cleaned up ASAP!
I am so sick of every news story saying if Biden had done this’ or ‘Democrats and done that’. Just shut up and deal with the story at hand and see what we can do about this story and stop with the what if’s. That accomplishes nothing!
