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.

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.

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.'
SECRET SERVICE UNDER FIRE
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.

Homes in Kildare affordable housing scheme above price limit for State-backed mortgages
Houses for sale in an affordable housing scheme in Co Kildare are priced above the threshold of what the State deems affordable in its local authority home loan scheme. Eight new homes at Lattin Place, on the Rathasker Road in Naas, went on sale on Wednesday with prices ranging from €295,000 for a two-bed house, €365,000 for a mid-terrace three-bed house and €370,000 for an end-terrace three-bed property . As of 3pm on Wednesday there had been over 100 applications for the eight homes . The house price limit for State-backed mortgages under the local authority home loan scheme is €360,000 in Co Kildare. Two working families with two children each and who have approval for the local authority loan are locked out of these affordable purchase homes, because the price of the three-bed homes is above the purchase price limit of the loan scheme. READ MORE Sandra Rowe says she and her husband are 'really, really frightened for the future' and is calling on the State to increase the threshold on the loan scheme. The couple, who both work full time, were refused a traditional mortgage through a bank because their income was too low. They are currently renting a house in Naas with their two children – a 12-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl. 'The rent is crazy, and we have no stability here. The biggest thing you want as a parent is stability for your children, and we thought the local authority loan and the affordable housing scheme would be our pathway,' Ms Rowe says. Aishling Conway with her husband Shane and their two children, Ella May (6) and Jack (2). Similarly Aishling Conway and her husband have also been locked out of the scheme, with Ms Conway saying 'it's quite strange that they're advertised as affordable housing, but then on their own mortgage, you can't even get it'. The couple, who both work full time and have two young children, a six-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy, were unable to secure a traditional mortgage from a bank because of their ages – they are both in their mid-forties – and so applied for the local authority home loan scheme. They have been house hunting for almost four years and had been hoping to avail of the affordable homes at Lattin Place. [ How much can I earn and still qualify for social housing? Opens in new window ] 'It's quite frustrating, especially with the way the market's going. At the moment, you bid on a house, and it just shoots up. One house we bid on jumped €9,000 in eight minutes, and it kept going up and up because two parties were bidding against each other,' Ms Conway says. The couple have very recently gone sale-agreed on another three-bed home in Naas for €320,000, and acknowledge they are 'very lucky' to get a house in the town for that price. Cllr Bill Clear at Lattin Place, Naas Local Independent councillor Bill Clear has been assisting local families in securing schemes to help them on to the property ladder, but says this situation is particularly frustrating. 'There is a silo in operation here, this is a Department of Housing loan, and a Department of Housing affordable purchase scheme – but the two aren't talking to each other. It is another abject failure of this Government,' Mr Clear says. Both Ms Rowe and Ms Conway are 'stuck in the middle', he says. 'They are all working, so they're locked out of social housing, but yet they're on too low of pay for the house prices in Naas. They are the working poor.' The homes at Lattin Place are a 'small drop in the ocean' of what is needed in Naas, Mr Clear says. There is another affordable housing scheme coming up at the former Devoy Barracks site in the town, which will have 219 units when completed. Prices for the first phase of the Land Development Agency project, due to launch in 2025, have not yet been released. Mr Clear, however, believes the project will be 'massively oversubscribed'. He says he is 'so frustrated and angry' at the situation. [ 'Without people to build homes, it won't happen': Construction workers decry shortage of tradespeople Opens in new window ] 'There is no data on people like this stuck in the middle. There are some homes in Kildare now with three generations living together, it's not only children living at home, but grandchildren are there now too. It's not right,' Mr Clear says. Ms Rowe will be one of those waiting on the Devoy Barracks scheme and calls on the Government to either increase the threshold of the local authority loan scheme, or to ensure the affordable homes fall within their price range. 'The one thing that we need as a family is either the threshold to be made higher or the affordable homes to come in at the threshold that has been set. That's what we need and what we're hoping for. We're putting all our eggs in the basket for this one,' Ms Rowe says. Without that, the future is uncertain for Ms Rowe and her young family. 'Myself and my husband are really, really frightened for the future. We know these houses [at Devoy Barracks] are coming up soon but we're just petrified now that if the prices are higher than what Lattin Place is, or if they come in at the same price, and the threshold isn't made higher – then we're in big, big trouble. Our hands are completely tied.'

US formally moves to dismiss criminal case against Boeing over crashes
The US Justice Department has formally moved to dismiss a criminal fraud charge against Boeing and asked a judge to cancel an upcoming trial connected to two plane crashes that killed 346 people off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia. The deal, announced last week, will allow the American aircraft manufacturer to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading US regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before the planes crashed less than five months apart in 2018 and 2019. The 'agreement in principle' will require the company to pay and invest more than 1.1 billion dollars (£814.7 million), including an additional 445 million dollars (£329 million) for the crash victims' families, in return for dismissing the criminal case, according to court documents. We are deeply sorry for their losses, and remain committed to honouring their loved ones' memories by pressing forward with the broad and deep changes to our company that we have made to strengthen our safety system and culture. Dismissing the fraud charge will allow the manufacturer to avoid a possible criminal conviction that could have jeopardised the company's status as a federal contractor, experts have said. US District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth, Texas, will decide whether to accept the motion to dismiss, accept the terms of the non-prosecution agreement and cancel the trial. Mr O'Connor on Thursday ordered all the lawyers to present him with a briefing schedule on the government's motion by June 4. Some relatives of the passengers who died in the crashes have been pushing for a public trial, the prosecution of former company officials, and more severe financial punishment for Boeing. The Justice Department has noted that the victims' families had mixed views on the proposed deal. Nadia Milleron, a Massachusetts resident whose 24-year-old daughter, Samya Stumo, died in the Ethiopia crash, in an email Thursday said it hurt her to read the Justice Department's 'false' statement that the agreement will secure meaningful accountability, deliver public benefits and bring finality to a complex case whose outcome would otherwise be uncertain. 'This is not a difficult or complex case because Boeing signed a confession,' Ms Milleron said. 'There will be no accountability as a result of the NPA (non-prosecution deal).' Boeing said in a statement that the company is committed to complying with its obligations under the resolution, including commitments to further institutional improvements and investments, as well as additional compensation for families of those who died in the two plane crashes. 'We are deeply sorry for their losses, and remain committed to honouring their loved ones' memories by pressing forward with the broad and deep changes to our company that we have made to strengthen our safety system and culture,' a Boeing spokesperson said in the statement. Lawyer Mark Lindquist, who represents dozens of the victims' families, said in a statement on Thursday that although he had wanted to see a more vigorous prosecution, he did not think it was going to happen. 'At this point, I can only hope the criminal case and the lawsuits motivated Boeing to improve safety,' Mr Lindquist said. 'That's what really matters. We all want to walk onto a Boeing plane and feel safe.' Boeing was accused of misleading the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about aspects of the Max before the agency certified the plane for flight. Boeing did not tell airlines and pilots about a new software system that could turn the plane's nose down without input from pilots if a sensor detected that the plane might go into an aerodynamic stall. The Max planes crashed after a faulty reading from the sensor pushed the nose down and pilots were unable to regain control. After the second crash, Max jets were grounded until the company redesigned the software. The Justice Department charged Boeing in 2021 with deceiving FAA regulators about the software and about how much training pilots would need to fly the plane safely. We all want to walk onto a Boeing plane and feel safe. The department agreed not to prosecute Boeing at the time, however, if the company paid a 2.5 billion dollar (£1.8 billion) settlement, including the 243.6 million dollar (£180 million) fine, and took steps to comply with anti-fraud laws for three years. But last year, federal prosecutors said Boeing violated the terms of the 2021 agreement by failing to make promised changes to detect and prevent violations of federal anti-fraud laws. Boeing agreed last July to plead guilty to the felony fraud charge instead of enduring what could have been a lengthy public trial. Then, in December, Mr O'Connor rejected the plea deal. The judge said the diversity, inclusion and equity (DEI) policies in the government and at Boeing could result in race being a factor in picking a monitor to oversee Boeing's compliance with the agreement. Under the new agreement, Boeing must retain an 'independent compliance consultant' who will make recommendations for 'further improvement' and report back to the government, court documents said.
