Trump expected to name Kash Patel as acting ATF director: ABC News

Kash Patel is expected to be named the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to a Justice Department official.
Patel was sworn in as FBI director on February 21, 2025, after a narrow Senate approval despite concerns from Democrats.
Gun safety groups, including the Brady group, worry about Patel's leadership due to his reputation as a 'known gun rights extremist.'
Congressional Republicans have proposed a $188 million cut in the ATF budget for the 2025 fiscal year, claiming the agency overreaches in its restrictions.
