WASHINGTON, DC: On Friday, June 14, legal analyst and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley suggested that the Biden family could potentially face legal action due to their dogs' reported attacks on Secret Service personnel, according to Mediaite.

This suggestion follows the emergence of new reports indicating that President Joe Biden was personally handling his German Shepherd Commander during some biting incidents.

What was revealed in newly released reports surrounding canine attacks in White House?

One Secret Service personnel recounted an incident from last September at the White House in a record obtained by Judicial Watch.

“As I started to walk toward him to see if he needed help, Commander ran through his legs and bit my left arm through the front of my jacket,” the Secret Service member wrote.

“I pulled my arm away and yelled, ‘No’. POTUS also yelled [redacted] to Commander. POTUS then [redacted]. I obliged and Commander let me pet him,” he went on to say.

“When turning to close the door, Commander jumped again and bit my left arm for the second time. POTUS again yelled at Commander and attached the leash to him. My suit coat has 3 holes,1 being all the way through. No skin was broken,” he noted.

In another incident, it was revealed that “there was a dog bite and the officer may need to go to the hospital” and that an “officer was treated by medical personnel on complex.”

Turley weighed in on X, formely Twitter, asserting that the Bidens would have faced civil lawsuits if they were not the First Family.

“The latest account shows that President Biden was personally handling his dogs during incidents of biting secret service,” he tweeted. “If this were any other family, there would be a strict liability tort action against the Bidens.”



 

Turley linked to a blog post wherein he had previously advanced another similar argument.

"If these attacks were litigated, I have little doubt that the Bidens would be held liable if they were an average family," Turley argued.

"Indeed, I would expect a court to seriously consider an order barring the possession of dogs in the future or requiring training classes not only for the dogs but for the Bidens."

Internet concurs with Jonathan Turley's claims of Biden family facing lawsuits over dog attacks ‘if this were any other family’

One X user remarked, "The stories that the Secret Service must have… If they ever broke the code of silence, it would probably be quite disturbing."



 

Another user said, "Mean old man creates mean pet dog. Keep the dog, ditch the mean old man."



 

Another user wrote, "Class action suit against Joe by all Secret Service agents affected and bitten. Today."



 

One user claimed, "Biden's letting his dogs bite Secret Service agents tells you a lot about Biden's character. Politicians like Biden tell everyone how much the care about other people, yet they will let their dogs bite and hurt people without a care. Just sickening."



 

Another X user remarked, "No bad dogs, just bad owners!"



 

Finally, this user tweeted, "Thank God for presidential immunity."
