What Happened: Sources say Trump will soon designate FBI Director nominee Kash Patel as the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Patel is expected to be sworn in early next week, following the recent firing of ATF general counsel Pamela Hicks by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who claimed Hicks was “targeting gun owners.”

Why It Matters: This move further consolidates Trump’s control over federal law enforcement, despite Patel’s controversial record and lack of ATF experience. His appointment raises red flags over potential political bias, as Patel has been a vocal critic of the FBI and has aligned himself with far-right extremists.
