Trump's nominee for new BLS Commissioner has not been confirmed yet.
He is not yet able to do anything yet. Currently there is an "Acting" Commissioner (Bill Wiatrowski) who is a long-time BLS employee and has previously served as Acting commissioner a couple times. Bill is a very honest man and will not participate in falsifying data. It is possible Trump tries to fire Wiatrowski now but that remains to be seen. Such a move would be a disaster for Trump.
