Atty Gen. Loretta Lynch reached into the ranks of top FBI administrators Tuesday for new leadership at the troubled Drug Enforcement Administration.
Former DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart was asked to resign last month due to dissatisfaction within the Obama administration over her handling of a scandal involving DEA agents hiring prostitutes and another incident in which agents forgot a detaintee in a cell for nearly five days with no food or water.
She had also long been at odds with former Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. and President Obama over marijuana enforcement. Rosenberg is expected to improve the DEA’s procedures on classifying, declassifying and reclassifying drugs, the official said.
