Trump's Potential FBI Shake-Up: Wray's Future in Jeopardy
President-elect Trump is reportedly interviewing candidates to replace current FBI Director Christopher Wray, signaling a possible leadership change.
- Vice President-elect JD Vance inadvertently revealed in a since-deleted post that Trump is considering replacements for FBI Director Christopher Wray.
- Kash Patel and Mike Rogers are among the names being floated as potential candidates for the FBI director position.
- Patel is favored by the MAGA faction for his hardline stance on reforming the FBI, while Rogers is seen as a more centrist choice with bipartisan appeal.
- Wray, appointed by Trump in 2017, has fallen out of favor with the president-elect, partly due to his role in the Mar-a-Lago document search.
- The decision to replace Wray would mark an unprecedented second firing of an FBI director by Trump before the end of a 10-year term.
