Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday night to say that Curran “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 noted Curran’s more than two decades of law enforcement experience, having joined the Secret Service in September of 2001. Trump went on to laud Curran’s experience as a Special Agent in the Newark Field Office “where he conducted protection, intelligence, investigations, recruitment, and logistics support for the district.”.

“During my First Term, Sean served as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Division, with direct oversight and responsibility of multiple protectees, and enhanced security plans for my residences,” he added. Calling Curran a “brilliant leader,” Trump argued that he’s capable of taking charge of “operational security plans” for the most “complex” of events.
“He proved his fearless courage when he risked his own life to help save mine from an assassin’s bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania,” said Trump. Curran was the special agent in charge of Trump’s security detail for four years and was one of the agents who jumped on stage during the rally on July 13 in Butler.
