The current Secret Service Director allegedly failed to take proper steps to safeguard President Donald Trump’s life before the fateful Butler, Pennsylvania rally, according to an alarming new report.
As TGP readers know, an assassination attempt was made on Trump’s life exactly one year ago today. A bullet fired by Democrat Donor Thomas Crooks grazed the president’s ear during the rally.
Corey Comperatore was fatally struck in the head. Two other rally attendees were wounded, one critically.
Crooks fired the shot on top of a nearby building, where Secret Service counter-snipers had a clear view of the shooter from their position at a higher elevation than the shooter behind Trump, yet they did not act. Crooks accessed the building with a ladder he bought at Home Depot the same day as the shooting.
Sean Curran, who was serving as the head of Trump’s security detail, helped shield the President from the bullets and appeared in the iconic photo of Trump after the assassination attempt. Curran was hailed as a hero</> following the incident.
He also supposedly cleaned house immediately upon taking over the agency, winning over more Americans.
Now, a startling revelation from Real Clear Politics National Correspondent Susan Crabtree alleges that Curran and two others gave the green light to the unacceptable security plan that gave Crooks an open shot at Trump.
How did Team Trump miss this?
From Crabtree:
Who signed off on the Butler security plan the day before the Butler rally, even though there were discrepancies on how the AGR building roof would be covered in the plan?
Would you be surprised to learn it was: Sean Curran, the head of the Donald Trump campaign detail, along with a supervisor for the Butler rally on his same Donald Trump detail, Nick Menster, and an inspector who was acting in a supervisory role, Nick Olszweksi, sources in the Secret Service community tell me.
All three got big promotions after Butler. Curran is obviously the Secret Service director, Menster is the No. 2 on the Lara and Eric Trump detail, and Olszweski, is ironically in charge of the Inspections Division, which falls under the Office of Professional Responsibility and ironically is charged with maintaining accountability and integrity for all USSS operations.
Moreover, Curran was responsible for promoting the two, and all three have escaped discipline. Crabtree then highlights an interesting fact from a Homeland Security Committee report on the assassination attempt, which was authored by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY): the details on these disciplinary actions were hidden from the committee until Paul issued a subpoena for them on July 1, 2025.
Under a Trump-appointed director, no less.
