Sean Curran, the head of President-elect Trump’s personal Secret Service security detail, is expected to become the agency’s next director.

“President Trump will be naming Sean Curran, who heads his personal detail, to be Secret Service Director,” the president-elect’s son, Donald Trump Jr., announced on X Friday.

“Sean is a great patriot and will stop all the insanity once and for all. There’s not a better person to be in this position!”

Curran maintains a low profile but is often pictured at Trump’s side. 

He even has fans on TikTok.

The attempt on Trump’s life led to intense scrutiny of the U.S. Secret Service and the resignation of Director Kimberly Cheatle.

Ronald Rowe Jr. took her place as acting director.

A second failed assassination attempt on Trump in September sounded even more alarms.
