President Joe Biden’s German shepherd has attacked U.S. Secret Service (USSS) personnel dozens of times over the course of Biden’s first term in office.
CNN reported that USSS records that it obtained showed that agents were attacked at least 24 times by Commander and that personnel have had to change how they do their jobs so they are not attacked. Commander replaced the Biden’s older dog, Major, which also violently attacked people at the White House.
The Biden family has subjected hundreds of White House workers to the prospect that they could be attacked any day by the vicious dog, CNN said, noting that it’s become a “serious workplace issue.”
The disturbing number of attacks that staff have been subjected to does not include numerous additional incidents that CNN has previously highlighted that involve “executive residence staff and other White House workers.”
In the 400 pages that CNN obtained was a warning from personnel that they feared that the dog’s violent and erratic behavior would lead to “something worse” happening to others.
A source within the administration claimed that Biden felt “awful” and “heartbroken” over what has happened, even though the attacks happened for months. Another source claimed that the Bidens “care deeply about the safety of those who work at the White House.”
Some of the attacks have been severe and could have potentially led to serious outcomes had medical treatment not been rendered quickly.
The report outlined one such attack from July 2023 when a special agent was providing security at Biden’s beach home and thought that Commander was on a leash in the backyard.
“In the background SA [redacted] heard the voice of what believes to be FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden [redacted] yelling [redacted quote]. Commander ran toward the direction of post [redacted] booth and bit SA [redacted] in the left forearm. Causing a severe deep open wound. As result of the attack SA [redacted] started to lose a significant amount of blood from [redacted] arm,” the report said.
