According to newly released records, President Biden reportedly witnessed several attacks by his wild dog Commander on members of the US Secret Service (USSS), and in one case even demanded that he be muzzled.

A correspondence obtained by Judicial Watch reveals life with Commander Biden – including visits to the emergency room and the tailor.

Several USSS officials said the attacks occurred while Biden was walking the dog and that the president witnessed the incidents himself.

In other emails shared by staff, the First Family was suggested to purchase a muzzle for the German Shepherd.

“TMZ just reported on a dog bite at the White House! Can we please find a way to muzzle this dog?” officials at the U.S. Secret Service’s Security, Health and Environment Division wrote in an email.

A member of the Secret Service said his encounter with Commander took place on September 13, 2023, when Biden took his dog for an evening walk in Kennedy Garden.

“As I approached him to see if he needed help, Commander ran between his legs and bit my left arm through the front of my jacket,” the USSS agent wrote. “I pulled my arm away and yelled ‘no.’ POTUS yelled ‘no’ to Commander as well (redacted). POTUS then (redacted). I obeyed and Commander let me pet him.”

“As I turned to close the door, Commander jumped again and bit me on my left arm for the second time. POTUS yelled at Commander again and put the leash on him,” he added. “There are three holes in my suit, one of them all the way through. No skin was broken.”

Other correspondence includes an email from a sergeant who wrote: “There was a dog bite and the officer may need to go to the hospital.”

In another email exchange, Anthony Guglielmi, the US intelligence agency’s communications director, wrote about another interaction with Commander.

“At approximately 8 p.m. yesterday, a Secret Service Uniformed Division officer came into contact with a First Family pet and was bitten,” Guglielmi wrote. “The officer was treated by medical personnel at the complex and I am not aware of any hospitalization.”
