Trump to Appoint Sean Curran as Secret Service Director After Butler and Florida Assassination Attempts
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 supervises about 85 agents, is expected to replace Ronald Rowe, the acting director who assumed the role after Kimberly Cheatle resigned following an assassination attempt on Trump on July 13, 2024. The decision comes after the Secret Service faced criticism for its handling of security during the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was grazed by a bullet in the ear. Curran was among the agents who rushed to protect Trump during the Butler assassination incident. The appointment has been confirmed by Donald Trump Jr., who praised Curran as a 'great patriot' capable of stopping 'all the insanity.' The Secret Service has been under scrutiny and pressure following the assassination attempt and a subsequent failed attempt at Trump's Florida golf course on September 15, 2024. The agency has been reorganizing and reviewing its operations in response to these incidents.
