Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, a Republican from New York who lost his reelection bid last month, is actively lobbying to become President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This move follows the withdrawal of Trump's initial nominee, Chad Chronister, earlier this week. D'Esposito, a former police officer, has been reaching out to individuals within Trump's circle to promote his candidacy for the position. His potential appointment comes as part of Trump's mandate to 'Make America Safe Again,' according to D'Esposito himself.
