Joe Biden’s dog has bitten Secret Service agents 10 times in 4 months | US News

The Bidens took in the two-year-old pure-bred in December 2021, after reportedly giving away another German shepherd, Major, to family friends after his string of attacks on Secret Service and White House staff.

Commander’s attacks from October 2022 to January 2023 were revealed in 194 pages of US Department of Homeland Security records shared by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Tuesday.

In one particularly aggressive attack on November 3, 2022, a Secret Service official emailed colleagues that Commander bit an officer at a post ‘two times, one time in the upper right arm and a second bite on the officer’s thigh’. White House ‘medical treated the officer and made the decision to have’ the victim transported to a hospital.

Two days after the attack, a Uniformed Division officer emailed the victim asking if he was ‘doing alright’ and wrote, ‘That’s freaking crazy that stupid dog – rolling my eyes’.

The victim replied: ‘My leg and arm still hurts. He bit me twice and ran at me.’

‘What a joke,’ wrote the Uniformed Division officer. ‘If it wasn’t their dog he would already have been put down – freaking clown needs a muzzle – hope you get to feeling better.’

A Secret Service memo on November 10, 2022, stated that First Lady Jill Biden was walking Commander in the Kennedy Garden when he bit a Secret Service officer on the left thigh. The officer had ‘bruising, tenderness and pain in the bite area’ and was treated by the White House medical unit, and a workplace injury report was filed.

In a January 2, 2023 email chain, a technical security investigator wrote that Commander squeezed his way through a door at the Bidens’ Wilmington lake house and ‘immediately bit/latched onto the lower right side of my back’.

On December 16, 2022, a Secret Service agent wrote, ‘I was walking across the complex and a dog bit my left arm’ and that it was a ‘dog bite, superficial laceration, contusion, soreness, and bruising’.

An October 5, 2022, email states that Commander was out for a morning walk when it jumped and bit an officer-tech in the ‘arm/wrist area’.

And a October 3, 2022, email states that Commander inflicted a ‘friendly soft bite’ on a special agent that did not break through the skin.

In an October 26, 2022, email, a Uniformed Division officer wrote that ‘Commander has been exhibiting extremely aggressive behavior’ and ‘came charging at me’. The first lady ‘couldn’t regain control’ of the dog and ‘he continued to circle me’. The officer concluded, ‘I believe it’s only a matter of time before an agent/officer is attacked or bit.’

Judicial Watch obtained the records through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit after the Secret Service did not adequately reply to their December 2022 request for ‘records related to incidents of aggression and bites involving the Biden family dog, “Commander”’. There may have been more attacks by Commander, as his initial nine months at the White House and the most recent six months were not documented.

‘These shocking records raise fundamental questions about President Biden and the Secret Service,’ stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

‘This is a special sort of craziness and corruption where a president would allow his dog to repeatedly attack and bite Secret Service and White House personnel.
