[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Secret Service is denying that two senior Secret Service managers were abruptly forced to resign Thursday night."The report regarding the Secret Service personnel is absolutely false," an agency spokeswoman said Friday.
She referred all further questions to the White House press office, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Steve Clemons, a longtime left-wing think tank writer who now serves as the Washington editor on the lam of the Atlantic and National Journal, issued a string of tweets late Thursday night saying that at least two senior Secret Service managers were "abruptly forced to resign" and were escorted out of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the building adjacent to the White House.
Clemons suggested that the move was an effort by the Trump administration to reshuffle the agency's top leadership but stressed that that was only "speculation."
Clemons is on a plane to Tokyo and could not be reached for comment.
His tweets about an incident at the EEOB involving two Secret Service managers came a week and a half after the Washington Examiner first reported that the top agent in Denver wrote in a Facebook post she would rather face "jail time" than "take a bullet" for Trump.
Kerry O'Grady, the agent in question, explained herself saying she viewed Trump's presidential candidacy as a "disaster" for the country and especially for women and minorities.
