Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem swore in Sean Curran on Monday to serve as the director of the U.S. Secret Service.
The swearing-in ceremony took place in the Oval Office, where President Donald Trump and Noem joined Curran.
“Sean’s brave actions when he risked his life to help save President Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania is a testament to his dedication to the mission of the US Secret Service,” Noem said in a statement.
“With his decades of experience, he will return the Secret Service to focusing on its core mission: protecting American leaders and the U.S. financial system.”
“I look forward to working alongside Sean to ensure that the Secret Service is stronger than ever before,” she added.
Curran was among the group of agents who rushed to the stage to shield Trump with their bodies during a failed assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler that left two dead and the candidate with an injury to his ear. More here
