President Biden’s recent visit to Southern California was overshadowed by an unfortunate incident involving a Secret Service agent being robbed at gunpoint. The incident took place while the President was attending a fundraising event in Los Angeles.
According to local law enforcement, the robbery occurred on Saturday night at the Tustin Fields 1 residential community in California. The victim, a member of the Secret Service, had his bag stolen at gunpoint during the incident. Police also reported that there was an agent-involved shooting during the robbery.
Despite efforts by officers, the suspect(s) managed to escape, leaving behind some of the victim’s belongings. The authorities are now searching for a silver Infiniti FX35 or similar vehicle that was spotted leaving the scene. At this time, it is unclear whether the suspect(s) sustained any injuries.
The Tustin Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying the individual(s) responsible for the crime. Anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities at 714-573-3372. Fortunately, there is no known threat to the public as a result of this incident.
Meanwhile, President Biden was in Los Angeles for a campaign fundraiser that same evening. The event, attended by celebrities such as George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand, reportedly raised over $30 million. Tickets for the gala ranged from $250 to half a million dollars, offering attendees special access, photo opportunities with Biden and former President Obama, and invitations to an exclusive after-party.
This fundraising effort comes shortly after a previous event hosted by CBS’ Stephen Colbert, which raised $26 million for the Biden campaign. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on the recent incident involving the Secret Service agent.
In conclusion, despite the unfortunate incident during the President’s visit, the fundraising event in Los Angeles was successful in gathering substantial support for the Biden campaign. The authorities are diligently working to identify and apprehend the culprit(s) responsible for the robbery, ensuring the safety and security of the community.
