Secret Service under scrutiny due to Kamala Harris' agent 'physically attacking' supervisor and other incidents of 'inadequate training'
The Secret Service is under scrutiny following reports of a disturbing incident where an agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris, lost her cool and attacked a supervisor.
Michelle Herczeg, a female agent on Harris' security detail, reportedly began fighting with fellow officers after appearing for duty in April at Joint Base Andrew ahead of a trip with the vice president.
Herczeg was reportedly armed when she grew angry and erratic and tackled the senior Secret Service agent in charge, according to reports. Her fellow agents disarmed her before she was handcuffed and removed from duty.
The Secret Service confirmed after the incident that an agent on the vice president's detail began 'displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing' and was removed from duty.
And now House Republicans are investigating the very peculiar situation.
Committee chairman James Comer detailed the troubling events in a letter to director Kim Cheatle requesting a briefing with the Secret Service about the incident that reportedly occurred between Agent Michelle Herczeg and her colleagues
A letter from committee chairman James Comer, detailed the troubling events, requesting a briefing with the Secret Service about the incident.
'The Committee requests a briefing from the U.S. Secret Service to address these reports and how the agency is responding to quickly remedy any vulnerabilities,' the letter read.
The letter signals that House Republicans are concerned about the current state of the agency, historically believed to have the most experienced and qualified agents charged with protecting the president and vice president.

The incident sparked complaints from within the Secret Service about the leadership of director Kimberly Cheatle.
A anonymous petition launched on Change.org singled out the incident as an example of how Cheatle's adherence to gender quotas left a dangerous individual in the agency who should have been dismissed a long time ago after problem with her performance.
The petition now has over 200 signatures.
The petition alleges that Cheatle's adherence to 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principals rather than promotions based on merit were to blame for the incident.
'The Secret Service used to be an elite agency, known for its rigorous standards and impeccable record in keeping with its proud motto "Worthy of Trust and Confidence", which is emblazoned on the credentials of every Secret Service Agent,' the petition read.
'However, many are concerned that under Director Cheatle's leadership, the Secret Service has become increasingly vulnerable to potential insider threats that pose a risk to US National Security.'
Comer's letter gave the Secret Service a June 13th deadline to comply with the request.
Cheatle was appointed director by President Joe Biden after the agency faced criticism after a majority of text messages from Agents concerning the events of the January 6 were deleted.
Soon after taking her new position, Cheatle announced her goal of having 30 percent female recruits for the agency by 2030.
"I'm very conscious as I sit in this chair now, of making sure that we need to attract diverse candidates and ensure that we are developing and giving opportunities to everybody in our workforce, and particularly women," Cheatle said in an interview with CBS.
