Watch as female Secret Service officers are caught fighting outside Obama's home as one says she'll ‘whoop girl's a**'
THIS is the moment two female Secret Service agents brawled outside Barack Obama's Washington DC home - with one threatening over the radio to 'whoop this girl's a**.'
Shocking footage shows the uniformed officers swinging punches and shoving each other in the dead of night, just two miles from the White House.

In the jaw-dropping clip, one agent can be seen grabbing her radio and calling for help.
She yelled: "I need a supervisor out here… immediately before I whoop this girl's a**."
The bust-up reportedly erupted around 2.30am local time on May 21 outside the ex-president's upscale Kalorama residence.
The video was shared on X by RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree on Tuesday.
She wrote: "#BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE: @RCPolitics has obtained video of the fight between two women Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers outside former President Obama's residence last week after one officer called a supervisor to come before 'I whoop this girl's a**.'"
The Secret Service confirmed the fight to The New York Post, saying the agents involved have been suspended.
A spokesperson said: "The U.S. Secret Service is aware of an on-duty altercation that occurred between two Uniformed Division officers at approximately 2:30 a.m. on May 21."
"The individuals involved were suspended from duty and this matter is the subject of an internal investigation.
"The Secret Service has a very strict code of conduct for all employees and any behavior that violates that code is unacceptable.
"Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further."
Kamala Harris bizarrely brings up viral elephant moment mid-speech but viewers convinced it's part of 2028 plot
The agency has yet to confirm whether the brawling agents outside Obama's home are still on the job.
The brawl is just the latest embarrassment for the Secret Service — which has spent the past year lurching from one scandal to another.
Last April, Michelle Herczeg – assigned to then-Vice President Kamala Harris – allegedly attacked a supervisor after being pulled from duty for throwing sanitary pads and screaming at colleagues, according to reports.
DRINKING
In September, the agency was rocked by bombshell claims that one of its agents sexually assaulted a Kamala Harris staffer during a night out in Wisconsin.
The alleged assault reportedly took place in a hotel room after the agent and several staffers had been out drinking.
Witnesses said the agent was so drunk they were thrown out and passed out in the hallway, where colleagues snapped photos of them.
The agent was placed on administrative leave and the Office of Professional Responsibility launched a misconduct probe.
At the time, a Harris campaign spokesperson said: 'The Office of the Vice President takes the safety of staff seriously. We have zero tolerance for sexual misconduct.'
That scandal erupted after another stunning breach — when an armed stranger managed to get within inches of Obama in Los Angeles.
The man, who turned out to be a private security guard working a nearby event, reportedly approached Obama's SUV in an alleyway and was stunned to find the former president sitting in the backseat — with no agents visibly nearby.
The guard, who quickly backed away, later said: 'I think they were obviously embarrassed by the situation.'
THE Secret Service has faced a number of challenges this year that have resulted in its director stepping down and calls for a "paradigm shift
July 13: Donald Trump is shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service is slammed for failing to take out gunman Thomas Crooks.
July 15: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle does her first network interview since the shooting, telling ABC News it was "unacceptable," but refuses to resign, blaming local police for refusing to secure the building from where the gunman launched his attack.
July 20: A week on, Pennsylvania Congressman Brendan Boyle calls on Cheatle to resign, making himself the first congressional Democrat to do so. That same day, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell both called on Cheatle to step aside.
July 22: Cheatle testifies before Congress and acknowledges "significant operational failure" in Butler, but refuses to resign.
July 23: Director Cheatle resigns. Her deputy, Ronald Rowe, takes over as acting director.
July 30: Rowe tells Congress the attempted assassination on Trump was a "failure on multiple levels."
August: It is later revealed the White House asked for extra funding for the Secret Service in the run-up to November's election, warning of "insufficient resources."
September 15: A gunman is arrested after being spotted with a rifle on Trump's West Palm Beach golf course. Secret Service agents say it was a credible plot on the former president's life.
September 16: Ronald Rowe makes astonishing admission that the Secret Service needs a total overhaul in the wake of both attempts on former President Trump's life, and calls for a "paradigm shift."
September 20: Rowe takes "full responsibility" for events at Butler, and repeats calls for "paradigm shift" in the Secret Service.

Earthquake felt by thousands rattles California as anti-ICE raid protests hit San Francisco
Thousands of Californians were rattled by an earthquake Sunday evening. The US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded a magnitude 3.3 quake at 9:30pm PT (12:30am ET), centered about 22 miles north of San Francisco. More than 4,100 people reported feeling the tremor, with reports stretching as far north as Vallejo. The epicenter was located in Pinole, near the Hayward Fault, a 74-mile fault line that runs along the base of the East Bay hills. While the 800-mile-long San Andreas Fault typically draws the most attention in seismic research, scientists warn that the Hayward Fault may also be overdue for a major event. Experts say there is growing concern about the potential for an earthquake greater than magnitude 7.0 in the coming years — the last time it blew was 1886. A USGS simulation known as the HayWired Scenario suggests that a magnitude 7.0 quake on the Hayward Fault could cause between 800 and 2,500 deaths across major Bay Area cities such as San Francisco and Oakland. The smaller Sunday quake hit around the same time as anti-immigration raid protests filled the streets of San Francisco. At least 60 people were arrested Sunday evening after the demonstration turned violent. Shaking from the earthquake was reportedly felt about 20 miles south as protests erupted in downtown San Francisco. There have been no reports of injuries or damages as a result of the earthquake but, according to the 4,194 people who reported feeling shaking. The quake came hours before crowds hit the streets of San Francisco in what they say was solidarity with protests in Los Angeles. The protest was said to have begun peacefully at 6pm PT near a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office on Sansome Street, but the crowd became tense as it stood toe-to-toe with police. Officers began making arrests several hours later after protestors started vandalizing buildings and shattering windows. Mayor Daniel Lurie said: 'Everyone in this country has a right to make their voice heard peacefully, and local law enforcement will always protect that right and the rights of everyone in our city to be safe. 'But we will never tolerate violent and destructive behavior. … Violence directed at law enforcement or public servants is never acceptable.' Local reports suggested those marching in San Francisco wanted to show solidarity with the protests in Los Angeles. At least three officers have been injured. Nancy Kato, a protester in San Francisco, told ABC 7News: 'We've been watching what's going on in LA, and we're like, no. 'The whole thing about going after immigrants and people who are undocumented, the most vulnerable of our populations that is so wrong.' The protests in Los Angeles broke out on Friday, triggered by immigration raids that resulted in dozens of arrests of what authorities say are illegal migrants and gang members. Tensions escalated Sunday as thousands of protesters took to the streets in response to President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard, blocking off a major freeway and setting self-driving cars on fire as law enforcement used tear gas, rubber bullets and flash bangs to control the crowd. Sunday's protests in Los Angeles, a sprawling city of four million people, were centered in several blocks of downtown. It was the third and most intense day of demonstrations against Trump's immigration crackdown in the region, as the arrival of around 300 Guard troops spurred anger and fear among many residents. The Guard was deployed specifically to protect federal buildings, including the downtown detention center where protesters concentrated. Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said officers were 'overwhelmed' by the remaining protesters. He said they included regular agitators who show up at demonstrations to cause trouble. Several dozen people were arrested throughout the weekend of protest. One was detained Sunday for throwing a Molotov cocktail at police, and another for ramming a motorcycle into a line of officers. Trump responded to McDonnell on Truth Social, telling him to arrest protesters in face masks.

Fresh Los Angeles rallies planned to demand release of arrested union leader
Los Angeles was waking Monday up to another day of high tensions with Donald Trump's administration, the fourth since protests began over efforts by federal immigration authorities' attempts to arrest illegal migrants in the city and a day after the president ordered in the national guard. New rallies against US immigration and customs enforcement (Ice) detentions are planned, with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announcing an event 'to demand justice for detained immigrants and an end to the ongoing human rights abuses by Ice'. 'We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced,' the civil rights organisation said in a statement on its website. The rally is set to demand the immediate release of David Huerta, a union leader who it said 'was unjustly arrested and is still being held by the government, and all unjustly detained individuals'. But the political rhetoric over the protests has not cooled. Trump's 'border czar' Tom Homan told Fox News early Monday that Ice 'took a lot of bad people off the street'. 'We arrested a sexual predator, we arrested gang members, we arrested somebody that had an armed robbery conviction,' Homan said, without providing specifics. 'We made LA safer … but you're not hearing any of this. All you're hearing is rhetoric about Ice being racist, Ice being Nazis and terrorists – and Governor [Gavin] Newsom feeds that, just like [Democratic US House minority leader] Hakeem Jeffries says he's going to unmask Ice agents. 'We're not going to stop.' Homan also told NBC News that more raids are coming. 'I'm telling you what – we're going to keep enforcing law every day in LA,' he said. 'Every day in LA, we're going to enforce immigration law. I don't care if they like it or not.' The tensions between elected state and local officials and the federal government showed signs of escalating further after Newsom said he planned to sue the federal government and dared Trump to arrest him. In an interview on MSNBC, Newsom said the lawsuit would challenge Trump's federalizing of the California national guard without the state's consent. 'Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight,' Newsom told the outlet. 'He's exacerbated the conditions. He's, you know, lit the proverbial match. He's putting fuel on this fire, ever since he announced he was taking over the national guard – an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.' Federal law, he said, 'specifically notes they had to coordinate with the governor of the state. 'They never coordinated with the governor of the state.' On Fox News, Newsom said Trump is 'reckless and immoral, and he's taken the illegal and unconstitutional act of federalizing the national guard and putting lives at risk'. Newsom added that he is confident that California's legal challenge would succeed.

Trump's vision for a twin-engine F-55 fighter jet faces reality check
WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's vision of a new, twin-engine version of Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jet may need to be scaled back due to cost and engineering realities, according to two people familiar with the matter. Speaking in Doha last month, Trump said the new "F-55" would feature "two engines and a super upgrade on the F-35." However, there is a caveat, with Trump saying, "if we get the right price." Trump was not shown a twin-engine redesign of the F-35, the two sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. Developing such a jet would require an extensive overhaul, running into billions of dollars and taking years to complete, the sources said. Lockheed Martin (LMT.N), opens new tab had briefed Trump on a possible upgrade to the F-35 during multiple meetings before the Doha event, the people said. The proposal included just one "advanced" engine, a redesigned nose and forward fuselage, and a new sensor suite. Trump's reference to the "F-55" - the designator of the jet - caught officials and industry insiders off guard, particularly the mention of twin engines, a feature Trump has said he prefers for safety in case one engine fails. Lockheed is exploring the development of two new fighter jet variations, according to industry experts and the two sources. The proposed F-55 emerges against a backdrop of intensifying global competition in military aviation. China continues rapid development of its J-36 and J-50 stealth fighters, while Russia advances its Su-57 program despite economic constraints. After Doha, Lockheed acknowledged Trump's comments with measured enthusiasm, stating, "We thank President Trump for his support of the F-35 and F-22 and will continue to work closely with the Administration to realize its vision for air dominance." A Wall Street analyst tracking what might replace Lockheed Martin's (LMT.N), opens new tab F-35, said "it sounds like Trump has asked DoD to consider a twin-engine variant of the F-35 'if we get the right price,'" according to a note from TD Cowen. Shifting the F-55 to two engines would initiate a costly and lengthy redesign of the F-35's airframe - and while it would make the jet fast, it would delay production by years, industry experts and one of the people said. Lockheed CEO James Taiclet had told investors in an April call that the company was exploring a "fifth-generation-plus" fighter concept that would apply technologies developed for its unsuccessful F-47 bid to enhance the F-35 platform. These new technologies would make it much harder to export the F-55, the people said, adding that they are still highly controlled. "We're basically going to take the chassis and turn it into a Ferrari," Taiclet told analysts in April, claiming such an approach could deliver 80% of next-generation capability at half the cost. Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab beat out Lockheed to win the contract for Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD), now named the F-47 which will be America's first sixth-generation fighter and intended to replace Lockheed Martin's F-22 Raptor. Because Lockheed lost the NGAD competition it is able to leverage its production plans for new jets. Lockheed had production spaces already lined up, the people said, and the president was made aware the company was poised to move ahead. "Lockheed is much further along than he realized," one of the people said. The timing of the F-55 announcement raises questions about how it fits into existing defense procurement plans and budgets. The Pentagon is already managing multiple high-cost aviation programs, including the ongoing F-35 program, the new F-47 development, and potentially the Navy's next generation carrier-based fighter jet - F/A-XX. For Lockheed Martin, the F-55 concept represents a critical opportunity to maintain relevance in the high-end fighter market after significant setbacks in next-generation competitions. Boeing's NGAD, which was just awarded and therefore is not in mass production yet, is expected to eclipse the F-22's capabilities, and so would F-55, the person said, making it a formidable fighter jet.
