Kash Patel Removed as Director of ATF

FBI Director Kash Patel has been removed as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives by the Trump administration and replaced with Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll.

According to sources familiar with the matter and speaking on the condition of anonymity, Driscoll will continue to hold both roles in the administration. It was not immediately clear why the change was made.

In February, the Senate widely confirmed Driscoll 66-28 for his current role with the Army, achieving a rare bipartisan win for the administration. The Washington Post noted that it is unusual for a high-ranking Cabinet member to hold dual positions and Patel had been to ATF headquarters only once in his brief time in the position.
