secret service leadership scratching their heads. first, there is the issue of how did an agent trained to drive the most precious cargo in the country have a one car accident on a cleared roadway. the president and the vice president travels in a motorcade, the streets are empty. so that part is weird. and the other red flag is with the secret service agents did immediately afterwards. when they sent a message alerting senior leadership about what had happened, the agents reported that a mechanical failure forced agents to trance harris to another vehicle. the secret service director who is just one month into the job after being appoint bid president biden, secret service director had to learn from other agents that a mechanical failure is not what happened. the post reports the incident concerned both the secret service director and the vice president and revived worries about the agency s history of concealing its mistakes. the secret service is having a heck of a few mon
