President Trump is expected to put newly-confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel over the ATF as acting Director.
Here’s the report from ABC News:
President Donald Trump is expected to name FBI Director Kash Patel as the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
A Justice Department official told ABC News that Patel is expected to be sworn in as acting director early next week.
The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The move comes after Attorney General Pam Bondi fired the ATF’s general counsel, Pamela Hicks, late last week. Bondi said in an interview with Fox News on Friday that it was because the agency’s lead lawyer was “targeting gun owners.”
This is a great move by Trump. Just like when he put Rubio over USAID, this move makes sense considering how related the ATF is to the FBI. Patel will fix it all.
