Former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers is no longer in contention to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to senior adviser to President-elect Trump Dan Scavino.
Former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers is no longer under consideration to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the incoming administration, according to a senior adviser to President-elect Donald Trump. Dan Scavino, who will serve as deputy chief of staff in the new White House, posted on social media Friday that a Rogers hire is 'not happening.' 'Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI.
But Trump at the time decided to appoint Christopher Wray to the traditional 10-year term steering the federal law enforcement agency. Trump, throughout his 2024 White House bid, campaigned in part on cleaning house at the FBI and has repeatedly claimed — without providing proof — that the bureau is chocked full of politically motivated and corrupt executives. And while not as much as others, Wray at times has been a target of Trump's criticism.
