A new memoir, Undercover Heartbreak: A Memoir of Trust and Trauma, reveals a serious breach of protocol by a Secret Service agent tasked with protecting former President Barack Obama’s Hawaii residence.

According to the author, Dwanyen, the agent invited her to the Obama property, suggesting inappropriate activities, including an offhand comment about engaging in intimate acts in the First Lady’s private bathroom.

The Secret Service confirmed the incident. Anthony Guglielmi, the agency’s chief of communications, stated, “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.” He emphasized that the Obamas were not present during the incident.

Guglielmi described the actions as a grave violation of protocol, saying, “These actions were an unacceptable breach of our protocols, our protectees’ trust, and everything we stand for.”

The incident underscores the critical importance of upholding the highest standards in safeguarding public figures and their families.
