Bill Clinton picked up women while jogging as staffers snorted cocaine at work, former Secret Service officer claims in new tell-all book

  • A new book has revealed secrets of the former Clinton administration 
  • Gary J. Byrne has written about Bill Clinton's alleged infidelity and an alleged 'jogging list' of beautiful women the former president kept
  • He also wrote that staffers snorted cocaine in the bathrooms to stay happy 
  • Byrne was a uniformed Secret Service officer who was posted in the West Wing of the White House for several years of Bill Clinton's presidency 
  • Critics have said that Byrne would not have had the kind of access to the Clintons as he claims and his accounts differ from his testimony years ago 

In a book set to be released on Tuesday, former Secret Service officer Gary J. Byrne details his time in the White House serving former president Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary Clinton.

Byrne claims within the pages of the book that Bill Clinton had a 'jogging list' and would have Secret Service 'take the names of attractive women he saw while out exercising'.

In Byrne's new book, 'Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate', the former White House security makes no apologies for his criticisms of the Clintons. 

In the 'jogging list', a detail exposed by Byrne, the former president Clinton would allegedly see women who were dressed in nightclub attire or exercise gear, who showed up at the southeast gate.

Gary Byrne has revealed the 'jogging list' Bill Clinton allegedly kept with Secret Service which detailed beautiful women he saw while exercising. Byrne claims Clinton has as many as three mistresses at once

'The agents... would get the women's names, and run them to see who they were. 

'If the women wouldn't cooperate, they would be ushered out of the jogging group.

'Agents... insinuated that this list was used by President Clinton to try to meet these women,' Byrne writes.

Byrne also accuses Bill Clinton of having as many as three mistresses at one time, which included former Vice President Walter Mondale's daughter, Eleanor.

Byrne claims in the book he once discovered the pair 'making out on the Map Room table'. 

He writes the Clinton administration was fraught with immoral ethical standards. 

'There were some drug issues. Some people would come in to work in the morning, and they were barely walking, they would drop stuff off at the office, and go to the restroom where they would come out minutes later happy as a clown,' he writes, alluding to the use of cocaine.

The former officer says he has always been 'America First', echoing the words of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

However, Byrne has not put his support behind Trump yet.

'The only thing I’ve ever heard about Donald Trump was that he built a lot of buildings and he gave a lot of money away to charity,' he said.

But because of his past with the Clintons, which never included a non-disclosure agreement, he said he will never vote for Hillary. 

'If my testimony wasn’t true, I would end up doing seven years. 

'Anybody who asserts that what I’m saying is not true they don’t know any better or they’re flat-out lying.

'I’m not completely comfortable telling the story, but I am telling it,' Byrne said, according to the New York Post.

Although Byrne fiercely defends his book, many say he would not have had kind of access to the Clintons he claims he had. 

Critics have also said his book does not match what he testified to prosecutors shortly after the 'incidents' he describes. 

'Gary Byrne joins the ranks of Ed Klein and other "authors" in this latest in a long line of books attempting to cash in on the election cycle with their nonsense,' a Hillary Clinton spokesman said.

'It should be put in the fantasy section of the book store.'

The book has also been on the receiving end of attacks from Clinton supporters, including Correct the Record, the political action committee run by David Brock, once a fierce critic of the couple when they were in the White House, who is now a backer.

It issued a lengthy denunciation of the book in an email sent 'from the desk of David Brock' which accused Byrne of having 'underlying motives' and 'recycling' old material. 

However the attack did not suggest any of the material facts in the book were untrue. 

Critique: Byrne writes: 'Clinton's caustic personality in and around the White House 'adversely affected those entrusted with her safety'. Her private leadership style was based on pure fear and loathing – and I never saw her turn that off'

In the book Byrne calls Hillary Clinton a 'joke' and a 'faux leader' who was 'all bark, but no bite' and paints her as a shrewish and paranoid monster during her time as America's first lady.

Byrne writes that Hillary Clinton was so mercurial and antagonistic that some U.S. Secret Service personnel protecting her 'literally went mad'.

He again mentions drugs when he alleges that many staffers needed them to survive Clinton's wrath.  

'Many turned to alcohol, drugs, performance enhancers, affairs (sometimes at the workplace), and even prostitutes and other dangerous habits,' Gary Byrne writes in the forthcoming memoir 'Crisis of Character'.

And perhaps most ominously for the agency tasked with the safety of the White House and its occupants, he writes that 'a 'f*** it mentality trickled down' throughout the Service because of Hillary's carelessness with safety and security.

Byrne is a former uniformed Secret Service officer who was stationed in the West Wing of the White House for several years during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Daily Mail Online has obtained a copy of Byrne's book in advance of publication.

It paints a picture of Hillary's paranoia about the agents and officers protecting her and her family, describing how it bled through in shouting matches between her and President Bill Clinton.

Byrne writes that strict security protocols dating from long before Hillary arrived in Washington cramped her style.

On one occasion when a gay-rights delegation led by Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Barney Frank - the second openly gay member of Congress - visited the White House, Hillary's own White House Social Office circulated a memo titled 'HIV positive'.

When Secret Service officers donned protective gloves to search and screen their briefcases, part of their standard operating procedure to protect against sharp objects, newspapers misinterpreted it as a homophobic slight.

The first lady was furious – at Byrne and other Secret Service Uniformed Division officers, not at the press corps that made something out of nothing.

'They f***ed us, Bill!' Hillary yelled at the president, in his retelling.

'We need to get rid of these a**holes, Bill! They've had it out for us from the beginning!'

Byrne recalls a rookie officer telling his superiors that Hillary had cursed him out.

'Hey, you'll never believe it,' he said, 'but I passed the First Lady, and she told me to go to hell!'

Another young officer added his own horror story: 'You think that's bad? I passed her on the West Colonnade, and all I said was "Good morning, First Lady". She told me, "Go f*** yourself".'

Clinton's caustic personality in and around the White House 'adversely affected those entrusted with her safety,' Byrne writes, adding that 'her private leadership style was based on pure fear and loathing – and I never saw her turn that off.'

It was her habit, according to Byrne, to make everyone including uniformed officers 'disappear' whenever she walked down a hallway with the small group of Secret Service agents who maintained the primary protective 'bubble' around her.

It was, he says, 'as if the whole place were her personal Executive Mansion. It was insulting. People scurried as if in a giant game of hide-and-seek. 

'An agent traveling ahead of her would direct people to disappear, usually into a nearby closet or alcove.'

Even Hillary's jogging routine became a source of stress for Secret Service agents who had to accompany her.

She routinely ditched her protective detail, Byrne writes, leaving them to decide whether to incur her wrath by insisting she wait for them.

'She was clearly fuming about something' on one day when Byrne was stationed outside, on the south side of the White House, and saw her in running clothes, making a beeline to the gate.

He saw her protective detail chase after her in full panic mode.

'I can't forget the look on one of their faces – he was a big muscular guy still wearing his suit – as he looked at us, rolled his eyes, and flung his hands up in the air, as if to say "Here we go again!", Byrne writes.

'He sprinted across the lawn to catch up. A few more agents, still struggling to don jogging attire, followed his lead.'

'Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton neared an exit gate,' he recalls.

'The officer manning it agonized over what to do if she demanded that he open it. Or whether he should abandon his post and fall in behind her if he did!' 

Byrne editorializes in an 'afterword' to his book that the former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state shouldn't be entrusted with the Oval Office and all it entails.

She broke federal law with her homebrew email server that held classified materials, he argues.

'To duplicate classified material without permission or to send it over an unsecured channel is completely illegal,' he writes. 'That's why every government agency employs burn bags, safes, and special folders for anything marked Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret.'

'People have lost their careers and gone to jail for far less, yet Hillary Clinton transmitted classified material by the figurative ton. No one else can operate like that in government. But she takes her normal shortcuts and continues to lie about it.'

He frets that voters may have become numb to the woman he refers to as 'the world's biggest Bridezilla'.

'I guess Americans stopped being shocked by the Clintons one blue dress ago.'

'We all remember – or should remember – what a Clinton White House was like,' he concludes. 'If we board that time machine for a return trip – it's our fault.'
