Jan 17, 2025, 03:08 AM

President-elect Donald Trump is set to announce Sean Curran as the new director of the United States Secret Service, replacing the current acting director, Ronald Rowe. Curran, who has been in charge of Trump's personal security detail, was notably present during an assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024. He has been with Trump's security team for several years and oversees approximately 85 agents. The announcement is expected before Monday's inauguration, according to multiple sources, including CNN and ABC News. Curran's appointment comes after the resignation of Kimberly Cheatle in July 2024, following scrutiny over security lapses that led to the assassination attempt on Trump.
