“To the Men and Women of the Secret Service, I want to take a moment to address our upcoming leadership transition. As you are aware, our next Director has not yet been named, however, I can tell you that the selection process is active and ongoing. In light of these circumstances, I’ve decided to briefly delay my retirement and transition to the private sector in order to help bridge the gap and foster a smooth and meaningful transition for our future Director.”
“I recently spoke with Secretary Mayorkas and White House leadership, who each agreed and extended the opportunity to do so. I feel strongly about using this time to oversee and ensure our agency’s continued cooperation, responsiveness, and full support with respect to ongoing Congressional and other inquiries. Doing so is critically important and I am especially grateful for the extra time to help lead our Service ever forward,” says Secret Service Director Jim Murray.
