The winds of change are sweeping through the FBI’s Las Vegas field office, with Jeremy Schwartz stepping in as the new acting special agent in charge. This shift comes on the heels of the sudden departure of Spencer Evans, who had served in the role since 2022.

The timing of this leadership change is no coincidence. NBC News reported that several FBI executives promoted under former Director Christopher Wray were recently given an ultimatum—resign, retire, or face termination. Evans was among those in the crosshairs, following President Donald Trump’s vocal criticisms of Wray’s leadership and the announcement of Trump ally Kash Patel’s forthcoming appointment to the FBI’s top position.

While the FBI has remained tight-lipped on the exact reasons behind Evans’ exit, with spokesperson Sandra Breault declining to comment on personnel matters, the writing is on the wall. This move reflects a broader effort to drain the bureaucratic swamp within federal law enforcement, restoring accountability and dismantling the entrenched networks that have long evaded scrutiny.

Schwartz, who previously served as an assistant special agent in charge, now holds the reins during this transitional period. His appointment signals a potential shift in priorities, possibly focusing on restoring public trust and ensuring the FBI operates with the integrity the American people deserve.

As federal agencies undergo these much-needed shake-ups, one has to wonder: how deep does the rot go, and who’s next?
