U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the appointment of Sean Curran as the new director of the U.S. Secret Service. Curran, who was part of Trump’s security detail during an attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July, has been praised for his bravery.
In a statement, Trump said, 'He proved his fearless courage when he risked his own life to help save mine from an assassin’s bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania. I have complete and total confidence in Sean to make the United States Secret Service stronger than ever before.'
Curran will succeed Ron Rowe, who has been serving as acting director since July following the resignation of Kimberly Cheatle. Cheatle resigned after the Secret Service faced harsh criticism for its failure to prevent an assassin from injuring Trump during a campaign rally.
Starting his career at the Secret Service in 2001 as a special agent in the Newark Field Office, Curran has conducted a wide range of operations, including protection, intelligence, investigations, and logistics support. He also served as assistant special agent in charge of the presidential protective division during Trump’s first term.
