- Judicial Watch recently obtained 194 pages of records from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealing multiple incidents involving President Joe Biden’s German Shepherd, Commander, and attacks on U.S. Secret Service (USSS) officers. These incidents occurred between October 2022 and January 2023. Please note that these records do not include any recent events.
- Agents involved in these incidents required medical care, including treatment at a hospital. The release of these records was made possible through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch. The lawsuit was initiated after the Secret Service, a division of Homeland Security, did not adequately respond to a December 2022 request for records related to Commander’s aggressive behavior and bites.
- The emails obtained provide details about the dog’s violent tendencies and highlight the president’s apparent lack of awareness regarding his pet’s behavior. One email mentioned an incident where Biden let Commander off the leash, resulting in an immediate bite to a Secret Service officer. Another email described first lady Jill Biden’s struggles to control the dog.
