B. Todd Jones
The U.S. Senate confirmation hearing of Minnesota U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones to be director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is underway this morning.
Jones has served as acting director of the bureau since 2011. This hearing has been delayed many times and it is not without subplots. To start, the bureau has been without a full-time director for six years as several nominees have been blocked by the Senate.
Jones has a long list of supporters including U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, but he also has detractors.
The former head of the FBI in Minneapolis sent the Senate Judiciary Committee a letter last winter criticizing Jones’ leadership as U.S. Attorney. Retired FBI agent Don Oswald described Jones as “uncooperative, not a team player and too political.”
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican member on the Judiciary Committee, says he has not received all the information he requested from Jones about cases he was involved in as U.S. Attorney for Minnesota and operations he oversaw as acting director of the ATF.
