As if Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle doesn’t have enough problems over her leadership decisions regarding the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump on July, 13, 2024, the heat has been turned up on a recent scuffle between agents earlier this year.
Cheatle, who has signed on with the woke pledge to have women be 30 percent of all law enforcement by 2030, may have forced the qualification of Michelle Herczeg, the agent who physically attacked her supervisor.
Agents are questioning the hiring of Herczeg, given that her record was below the level expected of male officers during her hiring.
Herczeg, an Air Force veteran and member of the Dallas Police Dept.,had previously initiated legal proceedings against the City of Dallas for $1 million in 2016, alleging gender discrimination and preferential treatment subsequent to disclosing instances of sexual harassment and other misconduct committed by fellow officers.
It is unknown whether she was formally diagnosed with mental health issues; however, a former colleague identified a concerning event that occurred in 2014—a murder at a hotel in Dallas—as the catalyst for a discernible shift in her conduct.
Ultimately, Herczeg’s legal action against Dallas was dismissed, and subsequent appeals were also rejected.
Today, Judical Watch issued the following press release:
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for records relating to an incident at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland in which a Secret Service agent assigned to protect Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly got into a scuffle with colleagues (Judicial Watch v. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:24-cv-01705)).
According to an April 24 report by the Washington Examiner, a Secret Service agent was removed from her duties after physically attacking the commanding agent in charge and other agents who tried to subdue her.
A later report states: “The agents involved in restraining (Michelle) Herczeg were especially concerned because she still had her gun in the holster. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun from her, cuffed her, and then removed her from the terminal.”
The report also states that, following the incident at Joint Base Andrews, which is the home base for Air Force One and Air Force Two:
Secret Service agents and officers are privately questioning the hiring process and whether the agency had adequately screened Herczeg’s background. Some also wonder whether her hire was part of a diversity, equity, and inclusion push in response to years of staff shortages that may have required the agency to lower its once-strict employment standards and physical performance to reach quotas for female agents and officers.
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after DHS failed to respond to an April 25, 2024, FOIA request for:
All records related to a reported incident at Joint Base Andrews in which a Secret Service agent was involved in an altercation with colleagues on or about April 23, 2024, including but not limited to incident reports, Vice Presidential protective detail agents’ emails and text messages, and emails and text messages of the following USSS officials: Director Kimberly Cheatle, Deputy Dir. Ronald Rowe, Chief Operating Officer Cynthia Radway, Asst. Dir. Michael Plati, Asst. Dir. Brian Lambert, Chief Human Capital Officer Denise Walker Hall, Asst. Dir. David Smith, Asst. Dir. Milton Wilson, Uniformed Division Chief Michael Buck, Chief Counsel Thomas Huse, and Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi.
All SF-50s, SF-52s, training completion forms, and disciplinary records of Secret Service Agent Michelle Herczeg.
All USSS and DHS policy documents related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the hiring, employment, training and discipline of Secret Service agents.
Prior to the altercation, Herczeg reportedly arrived at Joint Base Andrews “and began acting erratically, grabbing another senior agent’s personal phone and deleting applications on it, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The other agent, a shift leader, was able to recover his phone and then acted as if nothing had happened.”
“The catastrophic security failure behind the attempted assassination of former President Trump shows how the management and quality of Secret Service personnel are urgent issues,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Secret Service’s illicit cover-up of these documents about the Kamala Harris protective detail incident is not reassuring.”
In May 2024, Judicial Watch obtained a recording of a phone message left by an FBI special agent for someone at the Secret Service in the context of the raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
In February 2024, Judicial Watch received Secret Service records showing Assistant Director Michael Plati ordering his staff not to respond to a request for information from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s head of security. The documents also confirmed that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alexander Mayorkas and President Biden both had the discretion to provide Secret Service protection to Kennedy at any time.
In October 2022, Judicial Watch sued the Department of Homeland Security for all communications of the U.S. Secret Service internally and with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding the raid on President Trump’s home and for any video or audio recordings made during the raid on August 8, 2022.
Judicial Watch has launched a major independent investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

My post today at my blog was likewise on Kimberly Cheatle’s testamony; however, I was saving the portion concerning her DEI quotas for tomorrow’s post.
I have to say that I had not run across Herczeg. Still, this further illustrates the insanity of DEI hiring practices. As I understand it, Cheatle has remained committed to a 30% female Secret Service (never mind that a 5-foot, 2-inch tall woman will not be able to provide the protection to a 6-foot, 3-inch president and will not be able to carry that president away in an emergency).

Wow…what a nugget. Your doing some secret squirrel investigating, Jack. There is not one person that Biden picked for important positions that is qualified. This woman, Cheatle may have some impressive credentials but she is a incompetent moron. Let us hope that Congress can remove her.

Wokeness has not business in the Secret Service. Cheatle, how in the world did she even get to be director; it sure wasn’t on merit.
Have to say we all will have a lot more confidence in Judicial Watch investigating the assassination attempt than we do the FBI!
