Secret Service agent was robbed at gunpoint during Biden's trip to California

A United States Secret Service agent was robbed at gunpoint this weekend, while off duty on a trip to California as part of President Joe Biden's security detail, the agency confirmed Monday.

The robbery took place on Saturday, the same night that the president campaigned and fundraised at an event in Los Angeles, alongside former President Barack Obama, A-list actors George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and comedian and late night host Jimmy Kimmel. 

The agent who was robbed has not been identified, but did not suffer any injuries, according to NBC News. No suspects have been arrested or identified. 

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the agent was off-duty at the time, and returning from a work assignment when the robbery took place. The robber stole the agent's bag at gunpoint, according to Tustin police, but the bag was later found in the area.

"The employee discharged their service weapon during the incident but [it is] unknown if the assailants were struck," Guglielmi said in a statement. "We are thankful that the employee did not sustain any injuries."

An investigation into the robbery is still ongoing.
