The Biden family faces new controversy as allegations emerge that a Secret Service agent experienced retaliation for refusing to act as a personal chauffeur for President Biden’s granddaughter’s friend. The incident has ignited debate about appropriate boundaries between protection duties and personal services, particularly as the Trump administration recently revoked Secret Service protection for several Biden family members. Was the Secret Service agent’s refusal to act as a personal driver justified by agency policy?
Secret Service Agent Claims Retaliation Over Refusal to Play Chauffeur
A Secret Service agent has filed claims alleging he faced professional retaliation after refusing to act as a personal driver for a friend of President Biden’s granddaughter, Maisy Biden. The incident reportedly occurred when the agent, assigned to “Cowboy” (Maisy’s Secret Service code name), was driving her and friends home after a night out of dancing.
According to the allegations, one of Maisy’s friends demanded a detour to be dropped off first, which the agent declined, citing agency policy to prioritize getting the protected individual home safely. The situation escalated when the friend allegedly remarked, “What kind of Uber driver are you?” highlighting an apparent misunderstanding about the agent’s actual protective role versus personal service duties.

Alleged Cover-Up and Consequences
Following the confrontation, the agent claims he was forced to document the incident in a memo but was specifically instructed to omit any details that would reflect negatively on Maisy Biden or her friends. This directive allegedly came from a superior within the Secret Service chain of command, raising questions about potential pressure to protect the Biden family’s image at the expense of accurate reporting.
The agent further alleges that this incident led to significant professional consequences, including being passed over for promotions and other forms of workplace retaliation. While there are no direct allegations that the Biden family or administration intervened to punish the agent, the claims suggest a culture potentially willing to compromise professional standards to accommodate presidential family members’ convenience.

Broader Implications for Protective Services
This controversy emerges as Secret Service agents reportedly express relief that Hunter and Ashley Biden, along with five Biden grandchildren, no longer have USSS protection details. The Trump administration recently revoked these protections, with many agents viewing the change positively after what some sources describe as challenging assignments.
The allegations raise significant questions about the appropriate use of government resources and the professional boundaries of Secret Service agents, whose primary mission is protection rather than personal service. While presidential families necessarily receive heightened security, the line between legitimate protection and personal convenience services remains a point of ongoing debate within government oversight circles.
