INTERVIEW - GARY BYRNE - former Secret Service Officer and author of new book "Secrets of the Secret Service" -- IN STUDIO

BIO: Gary Byrne served in federal law enforcement for nearly thirty years, in the U.S. Air Force Security Police, the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service, and as a Federal Air Marshal, and is most recently the author of the New York Times bestseller CRISIS OF CHARACTER. While in service as a Secret Service Officer, Gary protected President Bill Clinton and the First Family in the White House.

Apolitical institutions like the FBI and Secret Service have become so corrupted by politics that they now pose a risk in undermining President Trump, says Secret Service Officer Gary Byrne in his book, SECRETS OF THE SECRET SERVICE: THE HISTORY AND UNCERTAIN FUTURE OF THE U.S. SECRET SERVICE.

For example, Secret Service Agent Kerry O'Grady, who infamously posted on Facebook that she "would take jail time over a bullet" if she served on Trump's detail and claimed her allegiance to the Resist Movement, is still on administrative leave with full benefits and a security clearance instead of being fired. Gary says the politicization of both critical agencies started in the Clinton Presidency, from Hillary Chief of Staff, Maggie Williams, who threatened a secret service officer who attempted to prevent her from tampering with evidence in the Kenn Starr investigation, to President Clinton himself who would abuse the "off the record trips" by sneaking off White House grounds in the back of a car shrouded in a large rain coat.
