Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, makes a startling discovery when he reveals a recent guideline that prohibits agents from donning red ties. This order was made in response to the discovery that, during a New Hampshire campaign event, an agent tasked with defending Donald Trump was seen donning a red tie that matched the President’s attire. When Bongino says, “They’re going to get this guy hurt,” he expresses grave fears about the agents’ safety.
According to Bongino, an email was distributed after a picture of an agent guarding Trump with a red tie was made public.

Agents are “pissed” over the tie order, according to Bongino. Citing the Secret Service’s botching of the White House drug inquiry last year, Bongino stated that when Trump takes office again in 2019, he must purge the administration of the agency.
Bongino stated that Trump’s “threat level is through the roof.” He asked Trump to pick up the phone, adding, “If this is what they’re worried about, you’re gonna get hurt.”

According to Bongino, the “red tie” dispute began with a book that was released in 2021. “I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year” excerpted from a story by Carol D. Leonnig and Phillip Rucker of the Washington Post:
Finally, Election Day had arrived. The morning of Nov. 3, 2020, President Trump was upbeat. The mood in the West Wing was good. Some aides talked giddily of a landslide. Several women who worked in the White House arrived wearing red sweaters in a show of optimism, while some Secret Service agents on the president’s detail sported red ties for the occasion. Trump’s voice was hoarse from his mad dash of rallies, but he thought his exhausting final sprint had sealed the deal. He considered Joe Biden to be a lot of things, but a winner most definitely was not one of them. “I can’t lose to this f—— guy,” Trump told aides.
According to Bongino, the book misidentified the people wearing red ties that day as military aides working for the White House Communications Agency.
Joe Biden appointed Kimberly Cheatle as the current director of the Secret Service in 2022. When Biden was vice president, Cheatle was part of his security detail. However, during the Trump administration in 2019, Cheatle departed the Secret Service. Meanwhile, Cheatle worked for Pepsi. Biden gave Cheatle the Presidential Rank Award in 2021.

I am proud to announce that I have selected Kim Cheatle to be the next Director of the United States Secret Service. Kim has had a long and distinguished career at the Secret Service, having risen through the ranks during her 27 years with the agency, becoming the first woman in the role of Assistant Director of protective operations.
Jill and I know firsthand Kim’s commitment to her job and to the Secret Service’s people and mission. When Kim served on my security detail when I was Vice President, we came to trust her judgement and counsel. She is a distinguished law enforcement professional with exceptional leadership skills, and was easily the best choice to lead the agency at a critical moment for the Secret Service. She has my complete trust, and I look forward to working with her.
We thank Director Murray for his service to this country, and wish him and his family well as he takes the next step in his career.
