FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern has more from Washington.

The Drug Enforcement Administration chief is retiring, a move ending weeks of pressure from Congress about her handling of an agency sex scandal.

(Leonhart) ”I can’t fire. I can’t recommend a penalty.”

Michele Leonhart testifying last week to a House panel about a government watchdog report detailing agents hosting sex parties with prostitutes in a foreign country, in some cases, paid for by drug cartels.

After Leonhart’s testimony, more than a dozen House Democrats and several Republicans signed a no-confidence statement.

Leonhart has led the agency since 2007.
