Obama to name Julia Pierson as new Secret Service director
Source: Washington Post
President Obama will appoint Julia Pierson, a veteran U.S. Secret Service agent and senior official, as the first female director of the agency, White House officials said Tuesday.
Pierson, 53, began her career in the Secret Service as an agent in Miami three decades ago. She now serves as the service's chief of staff.
She does not need Senate confirmation for the post, which White House officials said would be announced later Tuesday afternoon.
Administration officials said Obama selected Pierson in part to bring a culture change to an agency whose male culture was exposed during an overseas presidential trip last year.
