Trump to Appoint Sean Curran as New Secret Service Director Following Butler Assassination Attempt
Jan 17, 2025, 11:38 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 for many years and supervised about 85 agents, is expected to replace Ronald Rowe, the current acting director. This decision follows scrutiny of the Secret Service after an assassination attempt on Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, where Trump was grazed in the ear. Curran was among the agents who shielded Trump during the incident. The move is seen as a response to the agency's handling of the assassination attempt and subsequent criticisms regarding security measures.
