President Donald Trump on Monday named Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terrance "Terry" Cole as interim federal commissioner of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, elevating the career law-enforcement official to oversee the capital’s police force. Trump said the temporary appointment is intended to stabilize leadership at the department and review personnel, remarking that “we also have people who shouldn’t be there.” The White House did not specify how long Cole will serve or whether the move foreshadows broader changes at MPD or at the DEA.
