Trump's New FBI Director Search: A Shakeup in Leadership

President-elect Donald Trump is considering candidates for FBI director as part of his upcoming administration, indicating a potential replacement for current director Christopher Wray. This follows criticism from incoming VP JD Vance, who emphasized the significance of appointing a director aimed at dismantling the 'deep state.'

President-elect Donald Trump is actively interviewing candidates for the role of FBI director, signaling a leadership change as he prepares for his new administration.

The move comes amid incoming Vice-President JD Vance's defense over missing a Senate vote, revealing that he was in discussions with Trump about crucial government roles, including the FBI director.

The replacement of current director Christopher Wray seems increasingly likely, given Trump's critical stance toward Wray and discussions among Trump's allies about potential successors.
