Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem officially swore Sean Curran in as director of the U.S. Secret Service on Monday.
Curran, President Donald Trump, and Noem were all present at the swearing-in.
“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.”
She added, “I am looking forward to working with Sean to make the Secret Service stronger than it has ever been before.”
Curran was one of the agents who ran to the stage and shielded Trump with their bodies during an unsuccessful assassination on July 13 in Butler. Two people were killed, while the candidate suffered a minor injury to his right ear.
Curran was pictured next to Trump, in photos that showed the future and former president rising to his feet with blood streaming down his face and raising his fist. The audience cheered.
Three people were injured. Three bystanders were shot. They included firefighter Corey Comperatore (50), who later died of his injuries. David Dutch (57) and James Copenhaver (74) both survived.
Trump then praised and defended the members of Trump’s detail.
Bill Gage, a former Secret Service agent, said that Trump wanted to find someone whom he trusted. They formed a connection after Pennsylvania.
The advance team made all the errors in Butler. “The agents who were assigned to Trump, Curran and Curran did exactly what they had been trained to do.”
Curran keeps a low profile but is frequently pictured by Trump’s sides.
He even has fans on TikTok.
