Three supervisors heavily implicated in the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives’ controversial Mexican gunrunning scheme have been promoted and moved quietly to Washington, D.C.
The trio, William McMahon, ATF deputy director in the west, and Phoenix field officers William Newell and David Voth, have all been criticized for their part in Operation Fast and Furious.
They received their promotions due to “the skills and abilities they have demonstrated throughout their careers,” the agency’s acting director Kenneth Melson said in an agency-wide confidential memo, the
Los Angeles Times reports.
