The White House did not answer a request for a comment.

The step comes after the Atf General Counsel of the ATF, Pamela Hicks, released Pam Bondi at the end of last week. Bondi said in an interview with Fox News on Friday that the leading lawyer of the agency was “gun owner”.

ABC News turned to Hicks for a comment.

Patel was sworn in as a FBI director last week despite several controversy. He has been a vocal critic of the FBI for years and previously said that he wanted to remove the office of the office in Washington and claimed corruption and prejudices.

Patel, who has never been an FBI or ATF agent, supported rioters on January 6, accepted Rallyes with Trump and performed with various conservative personalities, including those who have driven Qanon.

All Senate Democrats and Gop Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted against Patel, who quoted his lack of political objectivity.

The ATF, which is commissioned to regulate sales and registrations of firearms in the United States, has long been a goal of Republicans if they claim that they are the government’s interventions in the rights of the second change.

At the beginning of this month, Trump granted an executive regulation in which Bondi was instructed to check measures to keep and carry the right and to present a plan to the White House after 30 days.

In one of her first memos signed, Bondi indicated the ATF to avert the resources from his alcohol and tobacco enforcement weapons in order to support the efforts of the Doj to combat illegal immigration and transnational criminal groups.
