President Donald Trump announced late on Wednesday that he had nominated Sean Curran, the head of his personal Secret Service security detail, to serve as director of the U.S. Secret Service.
Curran was one of several quick-thinking agents who rushed onstage to defend Trump during an attempted assassination on July 13. Trump called the appointment of Curran an “honor” in a Truth Social post.
“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,” the president wrote.
“He is brilliant leader, who is capable of directing and leading operational security plans for some of the most complex Special Security Events in the History of our Country, and the World. 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,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Soon after the announcement was made, former Secret Service agent and conservative media mogul Dan Bongino seemed to put out an ominous tweet on X (formerly known as Twitter).
