Mr. Curran, a current agent, will take the helm of an agency that has been the focus of several investigations since the July assassination attempt against President Trump.

President Trump announced Wednesday that he selected Sean Curran, one of the agents who rushed on stage during the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt, to serve as director of the Secret Service in his second term.

Sean Curran previously served as the special agent in charge of President Trump's security detail and sprung to cover him on stage during the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
