Donald Trump plans to appoint Sean Curran as the new director of the U.S. Secret Service. Curran currently leads Trump’s personal security detail and was involved in protecting him during a shooting incident at a campaign rally in July 2024. This decision follows increased scrutiny of the Secret Service after two assassination attempts on Trump. The first attempt in Pennsylvania resulted in a bullet grazing Trump’s ear, while the second attempt in Florida did not injure him. Critics have pointed to communication failures between local and federal law enforcement as a key issue during the Pennsylvania incident. Curran's appointment aims to address these concerns and improve the agency's effectiveness.
