    Four suspended Secret Service employees duped in case involving federal agent impostors.
    CBS News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 72% • 5 min read

    Investigators allege that Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 35, who have each been charged with false impersonation of a federal officer, obtained paraphernalia, handguns and assault rifles used by federal law enforcement agencies. Then, according to the FBI, they allegedly used their fake associations with the U.S. government to cozy up to U.S. Secret Service officials with gifts and favors.
    ...
    One of the agents was on the Secret Service detail for first lady Jill Biden. Another is a uniformed division officer at the White House. The third is detailed as a uniformed division officer at Vice President Kamala Harris' residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. And a fourth was assigned to the presidential protection detail.
    ...
    Lavish gifts given by the suspects to USSS employees were not presented as bribes, but were portrayed as "gifts." Investigators also presented numerous passports and visas that they say belonged to Ali that showed two visas authorizing travel from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

No - Medicare and government involvement is the cause of the...
