Secret Service Director Sean Curran has revealed that the current threat level his agency faces is “off the charts,” blaming a political climate more volatile than anything he said he has seen over his 24-year career.
Addressing reporters ahead of Friday’s restaging of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C, Curran was joined by other agents, one of whom agreed that the present “threat environment” is “the highest we’ve ever seen.”
