President-elect Donald Trump reacted quickly to protests from supporters who believed that he would choose Mike Rogers as director of the FBI.
Key MAGA figureheads on social media started protesting the idea after learning that former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe endorsed the idea of Rogers leading the FBI.
Trump's long-serving advisor and social media director Dan Scavino delivered an update on the idea on Friday morning on his X account.
'Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI,' he wrote. 'It’s not happening — In his own words, “I have never even given it a thought.” Not happening.'
