A Secret Service agent, assigned to protect former President Barack Obama, was fired after allegedly breaching his assigned role and compromising national security by bringing his girlfriend to Obama’s beachfront property in Hawaii in 2022 when the former President, Barack Obama and his family were away, according to a memoir by Koryeah Dwanyen, the agent’s former girlfriend, reported ABC News.
The memoir, titled ‘Undercover Heartbreak: A Memoir of Trust and Trauma’, details a series of potential security lapses. In her self-published book, released on October 28, Dwanyen refers to the agent as “Dale” and claims he suggested having sex in the former First Lady’s bathroom, “like a mile-high club”.
“We should have sex in Michelle [Obama]’s bathroom, like a mile-high club,” he allegedly said, acknowledging the risk by adding, “No one will know. If anything, I’m the one who could get in trouble,” according to ABC News.
US Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi confirmed to ABC News that such an incident did occur, resulting in the agent’s termination.
“On November 6, 2022, a Secret Service agent involved in protective functions brought an individual who did not have authorised access into a protectee’s residence without permission,” Guglielmi was quoted as saying by ABC News.
“As soon as the Secret Service became aware of the incident, the agent involved was immediately suspended and, after a full investigation, terminated,” Guglielmi added.
At the time of the incident, the former US President and first lady were not present.
“These actions were an unacceptable violation of our protocols, our protectees’ trust and everything we stand for,” said Guglielmi.
WHERE DID THE AGENT’S GIRLFRIEND MEET HIM?
Koryeah Dwanyen, the Secret Service agent’s girlfriend, said she first met him in 2022 while holidaying on Martha’s Vineyard, an island in Massachusetts, where he was assigned to the Obama family’s security detail.
According to Dwanyen, the agent told her he had been divorced for nearly a decade. However, as their relationship developed, she later discovered that he was still married, according to the book.
