Chuck Rosenberg, the acting chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration, has sent employees an email letting them know he is stepping down, a person familiar with the move told The Associated Press.
Rosenberg, who has been the temporary head of the DEA since 2015 and was once chief of staff for former FBI Director James Comey, will leave Oct. 1, the person who spoke with the AP said, and in his email to staff, he thanked them for their hard work. The Trump administration has yet to nominate a permanent chief, but the frontrunner is Col. Joseph Fuentes of the New Jersey State Police, the AP reports.
