Travis Kelce revealed he was issued a stern warning by Secret Service agents during his second White House visit in as many years last week.
However, the government agency clarified that the officers were just bantering with the Chiefs tight end when they threatened to ‘tase’ him if he approached the president’s podium.
‘Our agents and officers were happy to support Travis and the Chiefs’ official visit to the White House, even presenting him with a Secret Service pin,’ Secret Service spokesperson Nathan Herring told People on Wednesday.
‘As for the taser comment, Travis and our personnel were having some friendly banter as we have passionate football fans throughout our organization.’
The statement came one day after the Kansas City star told his New Heights podcast co-host, brother Jason Kelce, that ‘four or five Secret Service members’ approached him during the May 31 trip to the nation’s capital.
