Trump expected to name Kash Patel as acting ATF director: Sources

Donald Trump is expected to name FBI Director Kash Patel as the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, sources told ABC News.



Trump is expected to appoint Kash Patel as acting ATF director, with sources indicating Patel will be sworn in early next week. Patel, currently the FBI Director nominee, has faced controversies due to his support for Jan 6 rioters and associations with conservative figures. This move follows Attorney General Pam Bondi firing the ATF's general counsel and Trump issuing an executive order to review ATF actions related to Second Amendment rights.
