Trump Selects Sean Curran as Next Secret Service Director

President Donald Trump has officially nominated Sean Curran, who currently leads his personal Secret Service security team, to take on the role of director for the U.S. Secret Service.

Curran, known for being one of the agents who swiftly responded to protect Trump during the attempted assassination on July 13, was widely expected to be selected for the position. Announcing the decision on Wednesday via Truth Social, Trump described the appointment as an "honor."

"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 stated.

Trump continued to praise Curran, emphasizing his expertise in managing complex security operations. "He is a 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."

Additionally, late Wednesday, Trump revealed his nomination of Andrew F. Puzder as the next U.S. ambassador to the European Union.

Puzder, formerly the CEO of CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, received commendation from Trump, who referred to him as "a successful attorney, businessman, economic commentator, and author."

"During his 17-year tenure as CEO, Andy led the company out of serious financial difficulty, allowing it to survive, become financially secure, and grow," Trump noted. "Andy will do an excellent job representing our Nation’s interests in this important region."

Trump also named conservative author L. Brent Bozell III to oversee the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM). In his announcement, Trump remarked that "Few understand the Global Media landscape in print, television, and online" as well as Bozell does.

"He and his family have fought for the American principles of Liberty, Freedom, Equality, and Justice for generations, and he will ensure that message is heard by Freedom-loving people around the World. Brent will bring some much needed change to the U.S. Agency for Global Media," Trump wrote in another Truth Social post.

Bozell has been active in conservative media for decades. In 1987, he founded the Media Research Center, and he is also the nephew of William F. Buckley, Jr., who established the National Review. Last fall, Bozell contributed an opinion piece to Fox News Digital, expressing confidence in Trump’s electoral chances against Vice President Kamala Harris.

"Trump has something Harris doesn’t: a winning record, a winning agenda and a winning vision," Bozell wrote. "She avoids her record because it’s not only radioactive politically, but socialism has a rich history of utter failure everywhere.

"All Donald Trump needs to do is tell his story, remind people what was accomplished during his presidency. State simply he will do it again, both at home where so many are suffering, but also abroad where the world nears a boiling point. Lay out his vision of his city on the hill."

USAGM, formerly known as the Broadcasting Board of Governors until 2018, oversees government-funded media outlets such as Voice of America. According to its website, the agency’s mission is "to inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy."
