A Secret Service agent accused of sexually assaulting a staffer of Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin was “drunk” when he forcibly groped her.
DailyMail.com has learned that the unidentified man is also being investigated for attempting to seize a second employee.
“He may also have attempted to grope another woman who was present,” the source familiar with the investigation said, adding that this is part of the investigation.
According to the source, video shows the officer collapse in a hotel hallway where the alleged assault took place earlier that day.
The source said the officer was already intoxicated when he first approached a group of campaign workers that evening at a restaurant/bar in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where the campaign was doing prep work for an upcoming Harris campaign event.
As vice president and presidential candidate, Kamala Harris is constantly surrounded by Secret Service agents. There is no indication that any of the agents pictured with her were involved in the incident in Green Bay.

Ultimately, the event was canceled as the campaign decided to hold a rally in Atlanta instead.
The night of the alleged attack was the last day in the city for the forward planners, and they were to leave the next morning.
After leaving the bar, the group of staff members returned to the room of the woman who had been attacked to continue partying. The officer went with them.
“There’s no mistaking what happened,” the source explained. “He’s just acting like a drunken idiot in a bar.”
‘The staff came in and recognized him because he was in the same job, and they let him into the group.
“In his intoxicated state, he began making advances. This officer is 100 percent guilty.”

A bipartisan Senate investigation into the attempted assassination of Butler found that the failures at the meeting were “foreseeable” and “preventable.” Pictured: Secret Service agents gather to slam Donald Trump during the meeting on July 13, 2024
He followed the woman to her hotel room, where he allegedly attacked her and grabbed her breast, the source said.
“He was a mess and ended up on the floor of the hotel hallway at one point,” the source said. “There’s video of him on the floor drunk. He was destroyed.”
The agent was sent back to Washington, D.C.
“The U.S. Secret Service Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating an allegation of misconduct involving an employee,” a Secret Service spokesperson told Real Clear Politics.
The source told DailyMail.com: ‘He will be investigated, he will no longer work for the VP and his career will be negatively affected.’
The source described the victim as a low-level employee in her 20s who did not want her identity revealed.
“The victim is OK, but she’s very concerned that her name isn’t associated with this,” the source said. “This is not what she wants to be known for.”
Neither the White House nor the Secret Service immediately responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
The new report is a further embarrassment for the agency, following two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump.

The incident came to light on the same day the Senate released a report revealing a series of agency mistakes that allowed would-be assassin Thomas Crooks to successfully fire shots at Trump, hitting his right ear.
One supporter at the demonstration in Butler, Pennsylvania, was killed and two others were seriously injured.
Another disturbing finding from the bipartisan investigation was how technical problems led to the downing of Secret Service drones on July 13.
It took several hours to get the drones working again, and the officer in charge of drone operations had only three months of experience with the equipment.
The report, published on Wednesday, concluded that the failures leading up to the demonstration were “foreseeable, avoidable and directly related to the events leading up to the attempted assassination that day.”
The second assassination attempt on Trump took place on September 15, when gunman Ryan Routh hid in the bushes outside the former president’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
As Trump walked down the fifth fairway, Secret Service agents headed to the sixth hole, where an agent spotted the barrel of Routh’s gun.
Officers shot at him, but he managed to escape and was later arrested in Port St. Lucie, Florida, 45 miles north of the crime scene.
Routh, 58, now faces charges of attempted murder of a presidential candidate, assault on a federal official and possession of a firearm in aid of a violent crime.
