President-elect Donald Trump quickly responded to protests from supporters who believed he would choose Mike Rogers as FBI director.
Major MAGA figureheads on social media began protesting the idea after learning that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe endorsed the idea of Rogers running the FBI.
Trump adviser and social media director Dan Scavino gave an update on the idea on his X account on Friday morning.
“I just talked to President Trump about Mike Rogers going to the FBI,” he wrote. ‘It’s not happening. In his own words: ‘I’ve never thought about it.’ That doesn’t happen.’
