Leaked Document Reveals President Joe Biden Witnessed His Dog Attack Secret Service Agents
President Joe Biden was reportedly present and observed his dog, Commander, attack several Secret Service agents in at least three separate incidents occurring between 2022 and 2023, according to a newly leaked document obtained by RadarOnline this week.
In an unexpected twist following the president's decision to rehome his German Shepherd with relatives in October, newly released Secret Service records revealed that President Biden saw Commander bite three different agents on three separate occasions.
The documents revealed that the initial incident occurred at the White House two years ago, when an agent was escorting President Biden and Commander from the West Wing to the Palm Room.
An agent reported being "bit/grabbed on the left forearm" during an incident on October 2, 2022.
"Commander came in first, circled back, and grabbed my left arm," the agent proceeded. "He then stood up and back down. He is literally my height standing. [President Biden] entered shortly after since he was trailing behind him. [Biden] entered the Palm Room and said, '[redacted quote]'."
Fast forward two months to December 11, 2022, another Secret Service agent accompanied President Biden and his dog, Commander, to the Kennedy Garden.
The agent reportedly sustained a 1.5 cm cut and bruising on his arm, along with a 1 cm cut on his hand and thumb from a second bite by Commander.
According to the documents, the agent wrote, "Once at the KG, [Biden] took Commander off the leash to run free."
"I was present to observe [redacted] departing from the Kennedy Garden to move behind [redacted] toward the south ground drive via the internal garden gate when [the attack] occurred," the agent claimed.
The most recent incident involving Commander, which President Biden reportedly witnessed, took place on September 12, 2023. During this event, a third Secret Service agent escorted Biden, 81, and his German Shepherd to the Kennedy Garden. While Commander did not break the agent's skin, the agent's suit coat was reportedly damaged.
The third agent stated, "[Biden] opened the Book-Seller door and said [redacted]. As I started to walk toward him to see if he needed help, Commander ran through his legs and bit my left arm through the front of my jacket."
"I pulled my arm away and yelled no," the agent added. "[President Biden] also yelled [redacted] to Commander. [Biden] then [redacted]. I obliged and Commander let me pet him."
"When turning to close the door, Commander jumped again and bit my left arm for the second time," the agent continued. "[Biden] again yelled at Commander and attached the leash to him. My suit coat has 3 holes, 1 being all the way through. No skin was broken."
In October, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden made the decision to give Commander away to relatives.
Elizabeth Alexander, spokesperson for the First Lady, confirmed in a February statement that Commander was no longer residing at the White House.
