Trump to Appoint Sean Curran, Head of Personal Security Detail, as New Secret Service Director After Assassination Attempt
Jan 17, 2025, 01:21 PM
President-elect Donald Trump is set to appoint Sean Curran, the head of his personal security detail and manager of a team of 85 agents, as the new director of the U.S. Secret Service. This decision follows scrutiny and pressure on the agency after an assassination attempt on Trump in July 2024 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump's right ear was grazed by a bullet. Curran is expected to replace Ronald Rowe, who became the acting director after Kimberly Cheatle resigned. The Secret Service has been criticized for communication lapses and operational failures during the assassination attempt. Trump's choice of Curran, described as a 'great patriot' by Donald Trump Jr., aims to bring new leadership to address these issues and restore confidence in the agency's protective mission.
