Trump to appoint White House lawyer as next DEA chief
The Post reported that Uttam Dhillon, who currently works as deputy White House counsel, is likely to take over at the agency as soon as next week. Dhillon previously worked at the Justice Department and as a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles.
Dhillon’s pending appointment comes roughly two weeks after acting DEA director Robert Patterson announced he planned to retire. Patterson reportedly told employees that it became "increasingly challenging” to “decide and address priorities for years into the future."
The DEA is undergoing a leadership change as the Trump administration attempts to address the national opioid epidemic. As part of that effort, the government has sought to crack down on the distribution and use of prescription opioids.
The DEA is also at the front lines of Attorney General Jeff Sessions' hard-line views on marijuana.
Sessions told Hill.TV's "Rising" earlier this month that he believes President Trump would support legislation to protect states that decriminalize marijuana.
