WASHINGTON — Could there be an upset in the making for the top post at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration?
For weeks now, multiple sources have said the new administrator is likely to be John Pistole, deputy director of the FBI.
But one source on Tuesday insisted that the acting administrator Michele Leonhart has a good shot at getting the permanent position. She was one of four people interviewed for the job.
An announcement is likely to come some time this month. If Pistole does not get the job, he could be considered for the ATF top spot.
