In the tumultuous drama of President Joe Biden's time in the White House, a troubling subplot has unfolded: the Secret Service's apparent efforts to conceal potential scandals, despite rumored tensions between the president and his detail, whom he reportedly suspects of being "MAGA sympathizers" and often offends.
The appearance of cocaine in the White House around the time admitted drug user Hunter Biden moved in with his father raised eyebrows. The Secret Service initially changed their account of where the Schedule II drug was found and then abruptly closed their investigation without identifying a clear culprit.
East Wing tours halted to clean up bloody floors, puncture wounds that required 6 stitches to staunch the bleeding: inside the 24 assaults by Joe Biden's dog that forced the Secret Service to get "creative" to "ensure our personal safety" https://t.co/j57sl9XQYb

Now, according to CNN, the Bidens' third family dog appears to be even more aggressive than its predecessor, which was sent away for a pattern of biting incidents.
Commander Biden, brought in to replace the previous dog, reportedly bit Secret Service personnel in at least 24 incidents, as revealed in records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The descriptions of the attacks are disturbingly graphic.
In one report from April 23, 2023, an agent described sustaining two puncture marks with broken skin and blood present. Two months later, the White House had to halt tours for nearly 30 minutes due to blood from an incident being on the floors.
During the president's vacation in Rehoboth Beach, one agent required six stitches after suffering a severe open wound and significant blood loss.
A Secret Service memo from last summer acknowledged the need for adjusted operational tactics in Commander's presence to ensure personal safety.
Despite attempts by the Biden administration to downplay past biting incidents, documents reveal ongoing concerns about the family pets' behavior, including Commander's, shortly after his arrival at the White House in 2021.
From his son's legal troubles potentially implicating him in impeachment proceedings to the repeated aggression of multiple family pets, Biden appears to struggle to maintain order in his own home. This raises questions about his ability to manage the White House and ensure the safety of the Secret Service, whose primary role is to protect the president.
