Secret Service Director Jim Murray is retiring from the service and heading to the popular app Snapchat, where he'll serve as chief security officer, DailyMail.com confirmed.
'Jim embodies the meaning of service over self, and protected the families of U.S. Presidents like they were part of his own,' said a statement Thursday from the president and first lady. 'We are incredibly grateful for his service to our country and our family.'
The Secret Service's Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi told DailyMail.com that Murray delayed his retirement from the service by several months.
'He had the opportunity back in April but chose the end of July so he could not be a distraction from the president's NATO summit, the Summit of the Americas out in Los Angeles and the G7 summit that President Biden just returned from,' Guglielmi said.
'He also wanted to present the Secret Service's budget to Congress so he chose July 30,' the spokesperson added.
Murray started as head of the agency in 2019 and worked through the White House COVID pandemic that saw Donald Trump get infected - and him riding in a limo with agents outside Walter Reed.
The top salary bracket for the Secret Service is $189,000. Murray could get significantly more working for Snapchat.

So...an interdepartmental move, then?
I doubt it has anything to do with Hunter Biden.
It could however have something tangentially related to the Trump secret service / car story. Perhaps he didn’t want to play ball with Biden and have his people lie about what happened.
He’s probably tired of fielding complaints from the female Agents about Joe walking around in residence, naked.
I guess he got sick of changing diapers.
