Sean Curran, the head of President-elect Trump’s personal Secret Service security detail, is expected to be the agency’s next director.

“President Trump will nominate Sean Curran, who runs his personal details, as director of the Secret Service,” President-elect’s son Donald Trump Jr. said on Friday.

“Sean is a great patriot and he will stop all the madness once and for all. There is no better man in this position!”

Curran Butler was among the heroic agents who rushed to the scene to rescue Trump with his body after a failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania that left two people dead and the candidate with an ear injury.

Curran appeared next to Trump in a series of photos showing the former and future president getting back to his feet, blood pouring down his face and raising his fists, prompting cheers from onlookers.

Three people in the area were shot. The 50-year-old firefighter who died from his injuries was Corey Comparator; David Dutch, 57; and James Copenhaver, 74, both survive.

Afterward, Trump praised members of his personal list and defended himself against criticism.

“Trump wanted someone he could trust, and they formed a bond after Pennsylvania,” said Bill Gage, a former Secret Service agent under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

“Even with all the mistakes in Butler, the mistakes were from the advance team. The agents assigned to Trump and Curran were properly trained.”

Dem Repub Wants Secret Service Trump Security Perimeter: ‘Unacceptable’

Curran keeps a low profile but is often seen at Trump’s side.

He even has it. Fans on Tik Tok.

The attempt on Trump’s life led to an intense investigation into the United States Secret Service and the resignation of Director Kimberly Chittle.

Ronald Rowe Jr. has taken her place as acting director.
