WASHINGTON – The head of the US Secret Service is retiring to take a top security position at California-based social-media company Snap Inc. Snapchatofficials said on Thursday.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said James Murray, director since 2019, was looking to retire in the spring after 27 years with the law-enforcement agency known to protect presidents. The spokesman said he delayed leaving until 30 July because he wanted to lead the organization through G7, NATO and summit meetings, as well as presenting the Secret Service’s new budget.
