D.E.A. Chief Is Expected to Resign
The Obama administration’s top drug enforcement official is expected to resign soon, a senior administration official said on Tuesday, after her agency’s reputation was tarnished by a scandal over sex parties with prostitutes and she broke with President Obama on drug policy.
Michele M. Leonhart, the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, will step down within days, the official said, ending a five-year tenure that was marred by accusations of mismanagement. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity in divulging the planned resignation in advance of an announcement.
Ms. Leonhart’s expected departure follows a hearing last week in which lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee expressed outrage about her handling of reports that D.E.A. agents stationed in Colombia participated in sex parties with prostitutes paid for by drug cartels.
