Trump to Appoint Sean Curran as Secret Service Director Following Butler Incident
Jan 17, 2025, 08:45 AM
President-elect Donald Trump is set to announce Sean Curran as the new director of the U.S. Secret Service, replacing the acting director Ronald Rowe. Curran, who currently heads Trump's personal security detail and manages a team of 85 agents, was instrumental in protecting Trump during an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024. This move comes after the Secret Service faced criticism for security lapses during the Butler incident, leading to the resignation of former director Kimberly Cheatle in July 2024. Curran's appointment is seen as a strategic choice to bring trust and new leadership to the agency, given his close relationship with Trump and his role in managing a team of 85 agents.
