The U.S. Secret Service investigated a Maine resident after he joked about wanting to “invade” the White House to get a picture of President Joe Biden wearing an adult diaper.
The incident occurred in July 2022, when the Secret Service became interested in an unidentified resident of coastal Maine after his posts on X.
In one of them, the man suggested that he sought to “invade the White House and get pics of Biden in his ‘Depends.’”

The comment was made in response to another X user who asked “fellow extremists” what “illegal things” they were doing on the night in question and asked for details.
Ironically, the initial user wrote in the post, “I am not a Fed.”
The Daily Signal noted that the Secret Service identified the Maine resident’s reply as “threatening and concerning.”
“The Secret Service didn’t identify actual threats to Biden or his family, instead predicating the case on what it called the man’s ‘unusual interest’ in the family,” the Daily Signal noted. “This ‘unusual interest,’ however, appeared to be comprised of nothing more than obvious jokes that were critical of Biden.”
“Zero comments by the Twitter user suggested a serious intent to engage in violence, according to the Secret Service documents,” the outlet added.
The records of the case obtained by the Daily Signal “reveal that the Secret Service opened its investigation of the Maine man based only upon First Amendment-protected speech.”
The Daily Signal also reported that the name of the now-retired agent who opened the probe into the commenter was found in materials uncovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop. The agent apparently was detailed to protect the vice president while Joe Biden served as VP.
While the Secret Service dug deep into the man’s social media profile and other records obtained through subpoenas, it’s unclear whether agents actually interviewed him.
