Trump to Appoint Sean Curran as Secret Service Director After Assassination Attempts
Jan 17, 2025, 10:26 AM
President-elect Donald Trump is set to appoint Sean Curran, the head of his personal protective detail, as the new director of the United States Secret Service. Curran, who has been with Trump since the beginning of his campaign and supervises about 85 agents, was instrumental in protecting Trump during an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, where a bullet grazed Trump's right ear. This move comes after the resignation of Kimberly Cheatle, who stepped down following criticism over the Secret Service's handling of the assassination attempt. Curran is expected to replace Ronald Rowe, who has been serving as the acting director since Cheatle's departure. The decision to appoint Curran has been confirmed by Donald Trump Jr., who praised Curran's patriotism and leadership qualities. The Secret Service has been under scrutiny due to security lapses and communication failures during the assassination attempt, as well as a second failed attempt at Trump's Florida golf course in September 2024, prompting a review and calls for new leadership from outside the agency.
