Sean Curran, who headed President-elect Trump's personal Secret Service detail, will become the agency's next director, announced Donald Trump Jr. This decision comes after a failed assassination attempt on Trump in 2016 where Curran shielded Trump with his body. The incident and subsequent scrutiny led to the resignation of former Director Kimberly Cheatle.
Sean Curran , the head of President-elect Trump 's personal Secret Service security detail, is poised to become the agency's next director. Donald Trump Jr., the president-elect's son, announced on X Friday, 'President Trump will be naming Sean Curran , who heads his personal detail, to be Secret Service Director. Sean is a great patriot and will stop all the insanity once and for all.
There’s not a better person to be in this position!' Curran was among the group of heroic agents who rushed onto the stage to shield Trump with their bodies during a failed assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2016. The incident left two individuals dead and the candidate with an ear injury. Curran is seen alongside Trump in a series of photographs depicting the former and future president rising to his feet, blood running down his face, and raising a fist, prompting cheers from the audience. Three bystanders were also shot during the incident. They were firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, who succumbed to his injuries, and David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74, both of whom survived. Following the event, Trump commended the members of his personal detail and defended them against criticism. 'Trump wanted someone he could trust, and they clearly have formed a bond after Pennsylvania,' stated Bill Gage, a former Secret Service agent who served under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. 'Even with all the mistakes in Butler, the mistakes were from the advance team. The agents assigned to Trump and Curran performed exactly as trained.'Curran maintains a low profile but is frequently pictured at Trump's side. He even has a following on TikTok. The assassination attempt on Trump led to intense scrutiny of the U.S. Secret Service and the resignation of Director Kimberly Cheatle. Ronald Rowe Jr. assumed her position as acting director. A second unsuccessful assassination attempt on Trump in September further amplified concerns. The Associated Press contributed to this report
