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.

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.

Curran was one of several agents who piled on top of Trump last July after a gunman opened fire on the then presumptive Republican nominee during a campaign rally in Butler, Pa.
