The Bidens took in the two-year-old pure-bred in December 2021, after reportedly giving away another German shepherd, Major, to family friends after his string of attacks on Secret Service and White House staff. Commander's attacks from October 2022 to January 2023 were revealed in 194 pages of US Department of Homeland Security records shared by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Tuesday. In one particularly aggressive attack on November 3, 2022, a Secret Service official emailed colleagues that Commander bit an officer at a post 'two times, one time in the upper right arm and a second bite on the officer's thigh'.

It states that when the officer stood up, Commander bit the officer in the leg. The victim 'had to use a steel cart to shield… from another attack' and 'was in a considerable amount of pain'. Two days after the attack, a Uniformed Division officer emailed the victim asking if he was 'doing alright' and wrote, 'That's freaking crazy that stupid dog – rolling my eyes'. The victim replied: 'My leg and arm still hurts. He bit me twice and ran at me.' 'What a joke,' wrote the Uniformed Division officer. 'If it wasn't their dog he would already have been put down – freaking clown needs a muzzle – hope you get to feeling better.'
