Secret Service Director Sean Curran said his agents “performed admirably” tonight, pointing to the quick apprehension of the suspect at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as a prime example of what the agency is trained to do.
“We got to see what they do, and that individual, when he charged a checkpoint, was apprehended,” Curran said. “It shows that our multi-layered protection works.”

In a post to his Truth Social platform, Mr. Trump said Curran 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.“
Curran previously served as the special agent in charge of Trump‘s security detail for four years and sprung to cover him on stage during the first assassination attempt against him on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
