Obama’s Secret Service Agent Breached Security to Have an Affair (Memoir)

A Secret Service agent assigned to protect former President Barack Obama knowingly and repeatedly failed in his duties while trying to seduce a lover — and living a double life, according to the new memoir by Obama’s former girlfriend. the agent.

In “Undercover Heartbreak: a Memoir of Trust and Trauma,” Koryeah Dwanyen describes a series of potential security breaches, including a time when she said she was invited to join the lead agent at the Obamas’ beachfront property in Hawaii in 2022 while they were far away.

He had already sent her “several photos” of the house a week earlier and offered her a tour, according to the book.

“No one will know. If anything, I’m the one who could get in trouble,” the agent says in the memoir, where he is given the pseudonym “Dale.”

He then tried to get her to have fun in the first lady’s bathroom, according to Dwanyen.

“We should make love with Michelle (Obama)“The toilets are like a mile-high club,” says Dwanyen.

The principal agent’s alleged violations of fundamental rules prompted an internal Secret Service investigation.

The self-published memoir was released Oct. 28, adding another shine to the agency’s reputation after a major security breach over the summer led to calls for operational reform.

The Secret Service has come under intense scrutiny since a gunman attempted to assassinate Donald Trump while the former president was campaigning at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July. The incident, which led to the ouster of the agency’s director, was called a “historic security failure by the Secret Service” in an independent review by the Department of Homeland Security.

“The top priority of the United States Secret Service is ensuring the safety and security of our protectees, and any actions compromising this commitment are treated with the utmost seriousness,” Anthony Guglielmi, the agency’s communications chief, told ABC News.

Guglielmi confirmed that an incident matching the book’s Hawaiian anecdote had occurred – and that after discovering it, an investigation was launched and the officer involved was ultimately fired.

“On November 6, 2022, a Secret Service agent involved in protective duties brought without authorization a person who did not have authorized access into the residence of a protected person,” Guglielmi said. “As soon as the Secret Service became aware of the incident, the agent involved was immediately suspended and, after a thorough investigation, terminated.”

“Although the protégés were not present at the time of the incident, these actions were an unacceptable violation of our protocols, the trust of our protégés and everything we stand for,” he continued.

The former agent and prominent book figure did not respond to ABC News’ requests for comment.

According to her memoir, Dwanyen first met the Secret Service agent while he was assigned to the Obama family’s security detail and while she was vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard in 2022.

He said he had been divorced for almost a decade, Dwanyen said.

As their relationship developed, the author said, so did her concerns about the man she fell in love with. She would later discover that the agent was still married, according to the book.

“There were major red flags: abuse of trust and of his work,” the author said in a telephone interview with ABC News. “A friend of mine joked, ‘You were a walking national security risk.'”

Eventually, Dwanyen said, she sent an email to her boss expressing her fears related to the officer’s safety, as well as that of his family and her own.

She wrote that she then met with the agent’s boss “several times” in Hawaii, and she explained that she obtained his “direct contact information” from emails the agent shared with her.

The agent’s boss immediately arranged a comprehensive interview with agents from the Inspection Division of the Secret Service’s Office of Professional Responsibility, Dwanyen told ABC. The meeting would last “nearly four hours,” she wrote in her book.

“They realized that not only had ‘Dale’ shared photos of the Obama house, but he had also taken me there,” Dwanyen wrote. She “showed them pictures on my phone to corroborate what I was saying,” scrolling through “pictures of Alicia Keys’ house, Steven Spielberg’s boats, Melinda Gates, Tyler Perry and Amal Clooney.” .

“He really shared too much,” Dwanyen recalled telling one of the agents.

The agent told him “personal information that he shouldn’t have,” Dwanyen said on the phone with ABC News. This “information” he shared was all about the protected people, she said: ranging from information about the background of Mike Pence – to whom the agent had been assigned during his vice presidency under Trump – to details about the Obamas.

“I knew their code names. I knew what Orange Theory day was, what day (Michelle Obama) I had private tennis lessons and when his personal trainer came,” Dwanyen said. “Things I shouldn’t have known about as a civilian.”
