A federal judge has allowed most claims in a senior Secret Service agent’s lawsuit alleging a hostile workplace, retaliation, and discrimination to move forward despite Department of Homeland Security opposition, according to court documents.  

Sean Curran knew he had his work cut out for him when he agreed to head the Secret Service and help the troubled agency recover its reputation. Two assassination attempts against Donald Trump – and the less-than-candid response by the agency brass – had sullied the reputation of the once-storied agency and led to a raft of questions on Capitol Hill about whether the Secret Service had lost sight of its very purpose.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn sent a letter to Secret Service Director Sean Curran Thursday, demanding the immediate firing of a special agent who argued in a social media post that Charlie Kirk deserved to die.  

Former acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe gave himself a senior leadership "performance" bonus around the holidays in December after previously serving as the second in command of the agency, leading up to the two assassination attempts against President Trump last year, according to multiple knowledgeable sources.
