“I’m an artist” - President Trump 🇺🇸🐸

JUST IN🔥: 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."

After Elon issued the ultimatum that federal employees must respond to an email justifying the work they completed this week or resign, Kash Patel has instructed his employees to ignore the directive:

“FBI personnel may have received an email from OPM requesting information. The FBI, through the Office of the Director, is in charge of all of our review processes, and will conduct reviews in accordance with FBI procedures. When and if further information is required, we will coordinate the responses. For now, please pause any responses.”

NBC News corespondent, Dilanian, was the first to report the director’s announcement.

MOAR-Durham: Two U.S. attorneys also urged their employees to be cautious in how they respond to the email, including John Durham of the eastern district of New York and Ed Martin, who was just nominated by Trump to serve as acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

“Of course, a majority of our work is law enforcement sensitive (in addition to much classified work), so even assuming this is legitimate, we will need to be careful in how we respond to this inquiry. As noted, the deadline isn’t until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, so we have plenty of time,” Durham wrote in a letter to employees.

In his own email to staff, Martin heaped praise on the work being done by the Department of Government Efficiency, while also recommending that employees respond “carefully” to Musk’s directive and “be general” if necessary.
