Two Secret Service agents were suspended after getting into a physical altercation last week that was captured on video and circulated online.
A Secret Service spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the video, which depicted two female officers getting into a physical fight while on duty. NBC News reported that the incident occurred outside of former President Obama's home in Washington, D.C.
The spokesperson said the incident -- which occurred early last Wednesday -- is under internal investigation.

In the last year, multiple Secret Service agents have been suspended for getting into fights with each other. They have all been female. But you're not supposed to draw any conclusions from that. No matter how obvious those conclusions seem to be.
I saw someone, maybe Actual Justice Warrior or Black Conservative Perspective, call for assigning all of the DEI hires that Biden used to use for Trump's "protective" detail to Obama, Biden, and the Clintons. After all, if Diversity Is Our Strength, those who have recruited all of this "Strength" should have all of that "Strength," shouldn't they?
It looks like maybe that is what Trump is doing, and good on him if he is.
Meanwhile, the Obamas continue their Love-Romance for the Ages.
The rumors about Barack and Michelle Obama's marriage won't go away, and that's largely because neither of them has bothered to deny them. Despite media portrayals suggesting that Michelle has addressed the speculation, what we keep getting are vague, rehearsed soundbites that avoid saying anything definitive.
...
It's telling that Michelle and Barack still haven't offered a clear denial. Instead, we're expected to believe that there's nothing wrong after each flimsy excuse and explanation is offered.
...
Except that they're not. On Wednesday, Page Six reported that the Obamas "proved they're still going strong with a romantic date night" in New York City this week.
The couple was photographed leaving New York City's Lowell Hotel restaurant Tuesday night, their first time spotted together in six months.Barack, 63, suited up for the occasion.
Michelle, for her part, stunned in a ruffled black gown, completing her look with a pair of black slingback heels.
She wore her hair back in a low bun and accessorized with statement gold jewelry, from her hoop earrings to the bangles stacked on her arm.
The 61-year-old, who had her wedding ring on, was all smiles exiting the establishment.
As for her husband, Barack maintained a serious expression as the duo approached their car surrounded by Secret Service members.
He walked behind his wife, and the pair did not engage in any PDA.
Here's an Artist's Conception of what Barry-Michelle PDA might look like:
Matt Margolis concludes:
This is the first time we've seen them together in public in months. Yet the media is pushing this "all is well" line while unsubtly pointing out details that "prove" the rumors of marital problems to be false. Michelle "had her wedding ring on." Oh really? Did anyone think she wouldn't?
