Sean Curran, who protected President Trump during an assassination attempt last summer, has been sworn in as the Director of the US Secret Service. Trump attended Curran's swearing-in ceremony at the White House.
Key Points:

President Trump's assassination attempt took place on July 13, 2024, during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The FBI classified the attack as an assassination attempt and identified the assailant as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was neutralized by the Secret Service.
Following the incident, the Secret Service faced criticism for 'failure and poor communication.' Curran's appointment aims to strengthen the agency's capabilities.
