By yourNEWS Media Newsroom
President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly weighing candidates to head the U.S. Secret Service, with former Secret Service agent and conservative commentator Dan Bongino emerging as a top contender, according to a CNN report. Other names under consideration include Sean Curran, currently leading Trump’s personal detail, and Robert Engel, the former head of Trump’s detail during his presidency.

Bongino’s Background
Bongino, a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent, is currently the host of The Dan Bongino Show on Rumble. While addressing the speculation on his show last week, Bongino stated he had not had formal discussions with Trump about the role. Known for his outspoken views and detailed knowledge of the agency’s operations, Bongino has long been a vocal advocate for reforming federal security institutions.
Leadership Transition
The search for a new Secret Service director follows Kimberly Cheatle’s departure from the position earlier this year, which came after the failed assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe reportedly sought a meeting with Trump this week but was unsuccessful.
The Secret Service has faced criticism in recent years for operational lapses, including incidents during Trump’s first term. Members of Congress and an independent review panel under the Department of Homeland Security have called for a comprehensive overhaul of the agency, with many advocating for an outsider to take the helm.
Potential Impact
The next director will inherit an agency under intense scrutiny and tasked with safeguarding a president who has been a target of heightened threats. Bongino’s potential appointment would signal Trump’s commitment to reshaping the Secret Service’s mission with a leader who understands both the agency’s internal culture and its challenges.
