Kamala Harris Secret Service Agent ‘Removed’ After ‘Distressing’ Behavior

A U.S. Secret Service special agent was removed from duty after exhibiting “distressing” behavior that reportedly led to a physical altercation with other protection detail agents while supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’ departure from Joint Base Andrews on Monday.

The agent, whose identity was withheld, suffered a “medical incident” and was immediately “removed from their assignment,” Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, said in a statement to multiple outlets.

At around 9 a.m., approximately one hour before the vice president arrived on the scene, the agent “supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing,” according to Mr. Guglielmi.

Mr. Guglielmi said that medical personnel were called to the scene. He noted that the scuffle did not delay Ms. Harris’ departure.

The Secret Service spokesperson stated that due to it being a “medical matter,” no further information would be disclosed.
