Mike Rogers replacing Wray as FBI director is not happening, Trump adviser says

by November 22, 2024
written by November 22, 2024

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. It’s not happening — In his own words, ‘I have never even given it a thought.’ Not happening,’ Scavino said.

Rogers, the 2024 Republican Senate nominee in Michigan who lost his election last week by a razor-thin margin, was considered a leading candidate to be the next FBI director since Trump intends to fire the current director, Christopher Wray. 

A Republican source familiar told Fox News Digital that Rogers met with Trump last week at the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago residence. He also met with Trump’s transition team to discuss potentially serving as FBI director, sources familiar said.

Trump transition spokesman Brian Hughes declined to comment on Scavino’s post specifically. 

‘For transition, we don’t speculate on selections and don’t get ahead of official announcements from President Trump,’ he said.

Rogers told ‘FOX & Friends’ earlier Friday that ‘the culture of the FBI on the seventh floor needs to be changed.’

Rogers, who worked as a special agent with the FBI in its Chicago office and served as chair of the House Intelligence Committee during the final four years of his decade-long tenure in Congress, was interviewed in 2017 during Trump’s first administration to serve as FBI director after James Comey was dismissed.

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.

Another name that has been floated in media reports to potentially serve as FBI director in the second Trump administration is Kash Patel, the controversial aide and adviser who served roles at the National Security Council and Defense Department during the final two years of Trump’s first administration.

The Department of Justice declined to comment on Scavino ruling out Rogers.

Fox News Digital’s Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.
