Trump names agent Sean Curran as Secret Service director

President Trump on Wednesday tapped Sean Curran to serve as the director of the Secret Service, elevating a long-time agent who was protecting Trump during an assassination attempt last July.

“Sean is a Great Patriot, who has protected my family over the past few years, and that is why I trust him to lead the Brave Men and Women of the United States Secret Service,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Curran joined the Secret Service in 2001 as a special agent in the agency’s Newark field office. He served as the assistant special agent in charge of the Presidential Protective Division during Trump’s first term in office.
