From the New York Post: An ex-security staffer for President Joe Biden who posed for pics with former VP Kamala Harris in front of a presidential jet was arrested for a chilling murder in San Francisco.
Nation Wood, 25, was arrested Wednesday, just 24 hours after he allegedly shot and killed Samantha Emge, 22, a 2025 graduate of San Francisco State University, at a home in San Francisco’s Sunset District.
Wood identified himself as a part-time security staffer for Biden’s White House Secret Service team starting in November 2023 on his LinkedIn profile.
He worked at the White House through July 2025, finishing out his term under President Donald Trump, according to his LinkedIn page that lists him as an “independent pre-event site security advisor.”
On his LinkedIn page, Wood wrote that he worked as advance security, providing “external advisory site security assessments for events with VIP attendance.”
He had posted a photo on LinkedIn of himself standing with a group of people, including Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Imhoff, in front of the Air Force Two plane.
