Former First Daughter Jenna Bush used to try to ditch her Secret Service protection by jumping into her car without warning and racing through red lights, according to a new book. “As a result, in a total waste of manpower, the Secret Service kept her car under surveillance so agents could follow her,” says author Ronald Kessler.

Laura Bush’s press secretary called the reports “nonsense.”
