A Secret Service member got into trouble after bringing a lover to the Obamas’ beachside residence in Hawaii while protecting the ex-president in 2022, the law enforcement officer’s former girlfriend alleged in a new book.
According to ABC News, “Undercover Heartbreak: a Memoir of Trust and Trauma,” written by the agent’s ex, Koryeah Dwanyen, detailed how the agent broke protocol in an apparent bid to impress his then-girlfriend by sending her photos of the house and even suggesting a tour of the mansion when the Obamas weren’t home.
“No one will know,” the agent, whose pseudonym in the book was Dale, allegedly told her. “If anything, I’m the one who could get in trouble.”
He then allegedly said he wanted to hook up with Dwanyen in former first lady Michelle Obama’s bathroom.
“We should have se.x in Michelle [Obama]’s bathroom, like a mile-high club,” the book, self-published on Oct. 28, claimed he said.
A US Secret Service spokesperson told ABC News that an incident similar to the book’s description had, in fact, happened, and the agent was fired following a probe.
“On Nov. 6, 2022, a Secret Service agent involved in protective functions brought an individual who did not have authorized access into a protectee’s residence without permission,” the spokesperson reportedly said.
“As soon as the Secret Service became aware of the incident, the agent involved was immediately suspended and after a full investigation, terminated.”
“Although the protectees were not present at the time of the incident, these actions were an unacceptable violation of our protocols, our protectees’ trust and everything we stand for,” he continued.
Dwanyen also accused the agent of leading a double life.
She met him while she was on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. He was protecting the Obamas, who have a home on the ritzy Massachusetts island. At the time, he claimed he was divorced, but she later found out he was still married.
Dwanyen told ABC News she eventually emailed the agent’s boss, whom she had previously met, about concerns over the agent’s, his family’s, and her own safety, leading to a sit-down between her and other agents.
According to the book, she told them he sent her photos of Alicia Keys’ house, Steven Spielberg’s boats, Melinda Gates, Tyler Perry, and Amal Clooney.
She reportedly said the agent also told her about the background of then-Vice President Mike Pence, whom he protected during Donald Trump’s first term in office, and information about the Obamas.
“I knew their code names. I knew what day Orangetheory was, what day [Michelle Obama] had private tennis lessons and when her personal trainer came,” Dwanyen said, according to ABC News. Orangetheory is a combination of strength and cardio training.
“Things that I should not have been privy to as a civilian.”
