The officer allegedly tried to take his girlfriend to the former First Lady Michelle Obama's bathroom for sexual intercourse. 

“We should have sex in Michelle's bathroom, like a mile-high club,” the book, published on October 28, claimed he said.

The book “Undercover Heartbreak: a Memoir of Trust and Trauma" by Koryeah Dwanyen revealed many serious issues regarding the security lapses of Obama by the officer.

As per the ABC report, the incident occurred in 2022 when the agent was assigned the duty of protecting the former US President. 

The book further revealed that Dwanyen met the agent, whose name has not been disclosed, in 2022 on a vacation. Initially, he told her that he had been divorced for 10 years, but later on she found out that he was still married and was living with his wife. 

In an interview with ABC News, Dwanyen said there were "major red flags." She then sent an email to the agent's boss expressing her concerns regarding the "breaches of trust and of his job." 

The authorities then launched an investigation and found that the agent sent her photos of Obama's mansion and also brought his ex-girlfriend to the place. 

The agent, according to the book, also shared personal information of the people he was assigned to protect.

“On November 6, 2022, a Secret Service agent involved in protective functions brought an individual who did not have authorized access into a protectee's residence without permission," Anthony Guglielmi, the agency's chief of communications, told ABC News.

"As soon as the Secret Service became aware of the incident, the agent involved was immediately suspended and after a full investigation, terminated," he told the media outlet.
