Biden Admin Quietly Retires Key Player After Over 2 Decades: What Were They Caught Doing? — Report

A senior Drug Enforcement Administration official was forced to retire from the agency amid a federal investigation into his closeness to defense lawyers that represented alleged drug traffickers.
Nicholas Palmeri served as the DEA’s top official in North and Central America before a transfer abruptly ended his 14-month tenure in Mexico City, according to Fox News.
Internal agency documents obtained by the Associated Press reveal that Palmeri, who had over 20 years experience in the DEA, was recalled from his post as the federal agency investigated his relationships with the lawyers of traffickers.

Palmeri’s tenure witnessed an increase in the flow of narcotics across the southern border.
