- President Joe Biden doesn't fully trust his Secret Service detail, a new book says.
- Some agents' response to the Capitol riot means he doesn't speak freely around him, per the book.
- Biden also questioned details over an incident where his dog allegedly bit an agent.
In the book, "The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House," author Chris Whipple said that Biden stopped speaking candidly around agents based on how some reacted to the events of January 6, 2021.
He worried that there was too much support in the agency for former President Donald Trump, the book said,
per portions quoted in an article by The Independent.
Biden has trust issues with some agents, due in part to the fact that some agents are strong supporters of former President Trump.
Whipple also pointed to the mysterious deletion of text messages relating to the riot from agents' phones as a reason for Biden's apparent suspicion.
Commentary:
What's needed is a better handler and trainer for Joe.
Joes paranoia is indicative of his mental deterioration.
Actually no one from his trusted old VP detail wanted further contact with Joe.
None of the agents volunteered to be detailed to protect Biden, they had to be ordered on the protective detail.
The Secret Service is probably the most trustworthy of all the alphabet outfits.
