Secret Service to Make Changes to Biden's Detail

The Secret Service is making some staff changes in the presidential detail that will guard President-elect Joe Biden, amid concerns from Biden allies that some current members were politically aligned with President Trump,” the Washington Post reports.

“As Biden readies his new administration, the Secret Service plans to bring back to the White House detail a handful of senior agents whom Biden knows well from their work more than four years ago guarding him and his family when he was vice president.”

Remember how it was always leaked how horrible the Clintons treated the agents
and I think it was also done to Obama.

Service also police types [birds of a feather], with a lot of time on their hands, and alienation issues have cropped up at times.
